[02:01] <oh_noes> how can I completely uninstall perl deleting any compiled binaries etc, and then reinstall it as per the original OS installation?
[02:01] <oh_noes> I'm getting the following error:  /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl/5.10/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
[02:01] <oh_noes> which I think is related to compiled modules
[02:04] <Shaudh> Hi there
[02:04] <Shaudh> I've installed ubuntu server 9.04 and have configured dhcpd3.. according to the man pages the leases should be in /var/lib/dhcpd3/dhcpd.leases.. however.. the file is empty.. and there are 2 leases.. where can I found the registration of these leases? :)
[02:09] <Shaudh> anyone?
[06:03] <error404notfound> i am generating a certificate from godaddy.com, the free 1 year one for open source project, can i input *.mydomain.com in cn field and hope it to work?
[06:06] <error404notfound> yup, it works...
[06:06] <error404notfound> gerat :D
[06:06] <error404notfound> great*
[06:06]  * error404notfound is surprised to see GoDaddy providing free services for open source considering their site is entirely in asp
[07:01] <angelleye> I've got ProFTPD installed and I'm trying to browse symbolic link directories but when connected via FTP it says No such file or directory.  When I browse locally in terminal or in nautilus the sym links work just fine.
[07:30] <FFForever> anyone around that can help with apache vhost?
[07:52] <foxbuntu> FFForever, I can try to help, what seems to be the issue?
[07:52] <FFForever> foxbuntu, www.domain.com/index.php works perfect :D
[07:52] <FFForever> but www.domain.com asks me to download a phtml file
[07:54] <foxbuntu> FFForever, you need to add the default document type I bet...i.e. setup index.php as the home page
[07:54] <FFForever> foxbuntu, ohhh yeah domain.com works fine sorry i forgot to mention that
[07:55] <FFForever> foxbuntu, http://pastebin.com/f58247299 (i have not updated the dns yet)
[07:55] <FFForever> i am using hosts file to manually test it
[07:56] <foxbuntu> FFForever, http://pastebin.com/m2dc7a0c0
[07:56] <foxbuntu> see line 14
[07:56] <FFForever> foxbuntu, that should be fine no?, since domain.com works perfectly
[07:57] <FFForever> foxbuntu, i changed it to All and same thing
[07:57] <foxbuntu> FFForever, if it all points to the same server yes...but try adding the line I noted in the pastebin to see if it helps
[07:57] <FFForever> error log only says [Wed May 27 23:38:53 2009] [error] [client {My IP}] File does not exist: /home/fresy/public_html/fresyland.com/favicon.ico
[07:58] <foxbuntu> thats no big deal
[07:58] <FFForever> yeah...
[07:59] <foxbuntu> im sorry, I didnt see the directoryindex statement at the top before
[07:59] <FFForever> np
[07:59] <FFForever> i only added it to test...
[07:59] <foxbuntu> you have the hostname in place for both domain.com and www.domain.com?
[07:59] <FFForever> if i just make a vhost called www.fresyland.com and not use alias it works
[08:00] <FFForever> =\
[08:01] <FFForever> nvm i stand corrected
[08:01] <FFForever> it does not work
[08:01] <foxbuntu> hrm
[08:01]  * foxbuntu goes to get his production vhost to compare
[08:03] <foxbuntu> FFForever, this is what I am using:
[08:03] <foxbuntu> <IfModule mod_dir.c>
[08:03] <foxbuntu>     DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php
[08:03] <foxbuntu>   </IfModule>
[08:04] <foxbuntu> paste that add the end of your vhost (above </virtualhost>
[08:04] <foxbuntu> s/add/at
[08:05] <foxbuntu> sorry to ask a basic question...but you are reloading the confs after you change them right?
[08:05] <FFForever> foxbuntu, nope =\
[08:05] <FFForever> yeah
[08:05] <FFForever> after each change i am just reloading not rebooting
[08:07] <foxbuntu> FFForever, strange
[08:08] <FFForever> foxbuntu, wanna edit your hosts file and see if you get the same?
[08:08] <foxbuntu> FFForever, perhaps I could try with my dev server
[08:08] <FFForever> foxbuntu, nvm :D
[08:08] <foxbuntu> FFForever, I think it your servername statement though
[08:08] <FFForever> i cleared firefox :D
[08:08] <foxbuntu> ah
[08:08] <foxbuntu> cache
[08:08] <foxbuntu> :)
[08:09] <FFForever> no more downloading..., oddly server was giving me raw php
[08:09] <foxbuntu> FFForever, browser junk I am sure
[08:09] <foxbuntu> FFForever, glad you have it working however
[08:09] <FFForever> no it was the right source =\
[08:16] <ivoks> ScottK: !ops
[08:16] <ivoks> should work
[08:16] <ivoks> !ops
[08:17] <ScottK> ivoks: Right.
[09:24] <hagedorn_> hey, for know iam using nagios grapher for load mysql network graphing, ist there a better solution where i can view live stats of this apps ? for a group of 30 servers ?
[10:46] <owh> For the life of me I cannot recall what the cli tool is called that allows me to monitor network traffic on an interface. The UI shows a line for each connection and the used bandwidth. Any one recall what it's called?
[10:47] <infinity> owh: iptraf?
[10:50] <BlindHunter> r	hi! While installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 I've fount an 'unpleasant moment'. After configuring network (network cable was unplugged) the install hanged on apt checking volatile mirror ... After 15 minutes of waiting I had to reboot pc ... Why not to reconfigure installer and add 'skip' button when checking mirrors ?
[10:50] <BlindHunter> If it's a 'Server' dist then why should administrators keep waiting ?
[10:51] <owh> infinity: It's not the tool I was looking for, unless it's changed lots since I last used it, but it's looking pretty useful.
[10:52] <mattt> owh: you looking for something real-time?  if not, there's vnstat
[10:53] <owh> mattt: Yeah, the tool I used to use but cannot recall the name for was realtime.
[10:53] <mattt> owh: it's a nice little tool that summarizes bw usage per day, etc.
[10:53] <mattt> ah, k
[10:54] <owh> infinity: I have to say, this is very nice.
[10:58] <ajmitch> owh: you may have been thinking of iftop
[10:58] <owh> Ah that rings a bell.
[11:00] <owh> ajmitch: That's the one!
[11:00]  * owh now has to choose between iftop and iptraf :)
[11:45] <chunk> question : have a thin client - that is supposed to boot headless and send the serial port the console - it all works as long as I don't disconnect the vga console port
[11:46] <chunk> (when vga console port is disconnectedf I see via serial port that it gets as far as grub and then hangs ..)
[11:46] <chunk> have tried many different type of switches in grub doesn't seem to make a difference...
[11:46] <chunk> any ideas
[12:26] <ivoks> lamont: you asked for me?
[12:28] <lamont> ivoks: more had some questions on postfix 2.6.1 before I uploaded it completely
[12:29] <ivoks> lamont: ok...
[12:29] <lamont> ivoks: otoh, postfix 2.6.1-0 is in debian/incoming bound for experimental atm
[12:30] <lamont> I'd like to toss 2.6.1-1 into unstable tomorrow so I can have it synced before EOW
[12:30] <ivoks> sounds ok
[12:31] <ivoks> lamont: are you at uds?
[12:33] <lamont> physically, yes.
[12:33] <lamont> working it rather than attending, though
[12:33] <ivoks> oh, ok
[12:33] <lamont> so sometimes I'm here, mostly not
[12:36] <lamont> physically mostly in k4
[12:37] <ivoks> i'm in 2, which ever that is
[13:14] <kwork> where are defined the commands that are executed at sudo/su ?
[13:16] <kwork> nevermind.
[13:21] <tv7497> guys i have a lamp sever ! well is there a way for other's to upload a file to my server ?  well i have jaunty desktop version running for 64 bit machine
[13:25] <kwork> tv7497,  there are several ways
[13:26] <tv7497> kwork: could you help me atleast with one way ?
[13:26] <radovan> tv7497: scp, sftp, ftps, webdav
[13:26] <kwork> tv7497,  rather you should decide what you exactly need
[13:26] <kwork> and there are howtos for everything on ubuntu
[13:27] <tv7497> kwork: well what i need is to a simple way for my friends to upload their pic on to my server
[13:30] <tv7497> radovan: isnt there a simple tool or a script which would help me here ?
[13:35] <radovan> tv7497: if you have lamp you can make a simple upload script with http basic auth
[13:35] <tv7497> radovan: how do i do it ? i am really really new to this :)
[13:41] <tv7497> radovan: well with some googling i got to know about this proftpd i have no idea how to use it any idea ?
[13:41] <radovan> ok, forget about ftp, use scp
[13:42] <radovan> you just need openssh-server installed
[13:44] <pmatulis> in jaunty is anonymous query allowed by default?
[13:44] <pmatulis> for openldap
[13:44] <tv7497> openssh-server okie radovan and ?
[13:45] <radovan> then you can log in through scp/sftp if you have account, that's all
[13:45] <radovan> :)
[13:46] <radovan> there is client for windows called winscp, in linux there is sshfs, or you can you commandline scp
[13:46] <tv7497> radovan: i have no idea what those are ! scp / sftp  !!! i will install openssh-server and let you know could you please guide me from there ?
[13:47] <radovan> tv7497: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy
[13:47] <radovan> tv7497:
[13:47] <radovan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol
[13:50] <radovan> but this is offtopic in here, you should discuss that in #ubuntu
[13:53] <tv7497> radovan: well i get like this when i try to install openssh-server http://paste.ubuntu.com/182831/
[13:55] <radovan> maybe you should read the manual in the first place
[13:55] <radovan> off to work
[13:55] <tv7497> radovan: see ya !
[14:04] <Fumoh> so there's this old server here in our datacenter, and I need to find something fun to do with it.
[14:04] <Fumoh> emphasis on the fun.
[14:05] <tv7497> guys was trying to install open ssh server i get this message when i type ssh user@server ip address i get like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/182831/
[14:21] <Hecate> tv7497, so what's your problem?
[14:22] <tv7497> Hecate: its resolved thanks :)
[15:32] <RoAkSoAx> ivoks, heya master.. any news on the cluster stack session?
[15:32] <ivoks> it's now
[15:34] <RoAkSoAx> ivoks, which room to listen to your presentation :)
[15:34] <RoAkSoAx> I got it :)
[15:37] <jmedina> RoAkSoAx: what link?
[15:38] <RoAkSoAx> jmedina, http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/room14.ogg.m3u
[15:38] <jmedina> thanks
[15:39] <RoAkSoAx> ivoks, I think we should go for with whatever debian goes for... and I think for now is pacemaker... which means both openais and heartbeat... we could also support rhcs for a while...
[15:40] <ivoks> ok...
[15:42] <oruwork> whats the path to the list of banned ips by hosts deny ?
[15:42] <oruwork> ivoks-> !!!! whats up my man
[15:43] <oruwork> havent seen you in a long time
[16:10] <frojnd> HEllo there
[16:10] <frojnd> Today I come home and my serer was turned off...
[16:11] <frojnd> Now I'd like if there was some kind of CPU overloading
[16:11] <frojnd> or why did this hapen
[16:11] <ivoks> check logs
[16:11] <ivoks>  /var/log/syslog*
[16:11] <frojnd> I would like to know if tehre was some electricity problem I doubt that since it's on UPS..
[16:12] <ScottK> I think it's pretty unlikely it'd get to power off all by itself.
[16:13] <frojnd> ScottK: I think that too..
[16:13] <frojnd> I'll turn it on and check the logs..
[16:19] <oruwork> frojnd-> i had the same problem when i had a server at home, decided its not worth it and signed up for a VPS
[16:21] <oruwork> it was deffinetly hardware related cause that box did the same thing with windows 2k3 server isntalled
[16:29] <frojnd> oruwork: VPS?
[16:29] <frojnd> oruwork: this is thefirst time.. I had uptimes up 20 200+ days...
[16:30] <oruwork> 200+ days thats good
[16:31] <frojnd> oruwork: Yeah,.. relatively :P
[16:32] <oruwork> so any ideas on where to start to set up own irc server ?
[16:33] <radovan> oruwork: you need co compile ircd
[16:33] <radovan> i like unreal, it has nice set of features
[16:51] <frojnd> HEllo there again
[16:51] <frojnd> I'm looking at /var/log/syslog andd I'm trying why would ubuntu server reboot: http://pastebin.com/d345913f7
[16:51] <frojnd> The first line
[16:51] <frojnd> reboot
[16:51] <frojnd> do something
[16:51] <frojnd> and than turn itself off..
[16:52] <frojnd> since I found server powered off..
[16:52] <frojnd> any ideas?
[16:52] <frojnd> May 28 06:39:01 ubuntko /USR/SBIN/CRON[8492]: (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm)
[16:52] <frojnd> what does that mean?
[16:52] <frojnd> I didn't execute this command..
[16:52] <frojnd> neither setup any cronjobs..
[16:53] <frojnd> I would really like to know if I have some leaks in the system :)
[16:55] <infinity> frojnd: That cronjob ships with php.
[16:56] <infinity> frojnd: /etc/cron.d/php5
[16:56] <frojnd> infinity: ok.. still why it did resetart
[16:56] <frojnd> cause of some error in php
[16:56] <aljosa> how do i set in python 2.5 instead of 2.6 as default in jaunty?
[16:56] <frojnd> ?
[16:56] <infinity> frojnd: That cronjob definitely didn't reset your machine. :)
[16:56] <frojnd> I'd like to know if there was CPU overflow or RAM leak
[16:57] <frojnd> infinity: it wasn't restartet you see...
[16:57] <frojnd> It was POWERED down :)
[16:57] <infinity> frojnd: Where are you looking?
[16:57] <frojnd> infinity: /var/log/syslog
[16:57] <infinity> #
[16:57] <infinity> May 28 11:17:01 ubuntko /USR/SBIN/CRON[8876]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
[16:57] <infinity> #
[16:57] <infinity> May 28 17:14:31 ubuntko syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart.
[16:57] <infinity> ?
[16:58] <frojnd> hum
[16:58] <frojnd> em...
[16:58] <infinity> You lost power, or yor hardware hung.
[16:58] <infinity> Cron didn't do either of those things.
[16:58] <frojnd> infinity: lost power when?
[16:58] <frojnd> I powered on at 17:someting
[16:58] <infinity> Yes...
[16:59] <infinity> You obviously lost power at 11:17:01 and turned it back on at 17:14:31 ...
[16:59] <frojnd> Let assume the power didn't went off...
[16:59] <infinity> I'm failing to see how this is a software issue. :)
[16:59] <frojnd> What else it could be=
[16:59] <infinity> The machine was off, you say?
[16:59] <frojnd> ?
[16:59] <frojnd> infinity: yep
[16:59] <infinity> Then you lost power.
[16:59] <infinity> We don't spontaneously cut power.
[16:59] <frojnd> infinity: it's not that simple
[16:59] <infinity> If the kernel had hung, the machine would have still been on.
[17:00] <frojnd> infinity: I just have to ask the employee if the power went off...
[17:00] <frojnd> brb
[17:00] <frojnd> :P
[17:03] <frojnd> infinity: you are right :)
[17:04] <frojnd> the entire area was weithout power
[17:04] <frojnd> I was on university but they have generators or I don't know what there..
[17:04] <frojnd> at the university :P
[17:04] <frojnd> currently I have usp that can power 30min but looks like I'd need a couple more of em :D
[17:09] <yann2> if I want to define a .vimrc for all users, where should I put it?
[17:11] <radovan> yann2: /etc/vim/vimrc
[17:12] <radovan> yann2: personalized settings are in ~/.vimrc and had priority over global settings
[17:19] <frojnd> I know this one of those questions that are logicall but, how long does ubuntu take to build the kernel with: Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2250  @ 1.73GHz (core duo)
[17:29] <aljosa> is there a way to set python2.5 as default in jaunty?
[17:49] <_jmedina> radovan: for ubuntu personalized  (global) settings go into /etc/vim/vimrc.local
[17:49] <_jmedina> it is included in /etc/vim/vimrc
[17:49] <RoAkSoAx> ivoks, heya master, what's this file ./.pc/.version for?
[17:56] <ivoks> RoAkSoAx: where?
[17:57]  * ivoks sleeps
[19:12] <W8TAH> i have 2 software raid 5 devices on a server that i need to remove -- ive booted off a server install disk and am trying to delete them at the partitioner -- no luck - -what do i do now?
[19:14] <W8TAH> the install disk keeps protesting that they may be active
[19:59] <rsr> hello
[20:00] <rsr> ubuntu isnt detecting my network interfaces. When I try sudo ifconfig ethx up it says no such device. I can see the ethernet devices through lspci though
[20:02] <ivoks> rsr: sudo ifup ethx
[20:02] <rsr> anyone?
[20:02] <ivoks> not ifconfig
[20:02] <rsr> ok
[20:02] <ivoks> if it's setup in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:03] <rsr> same thing
[20:03] <rsr> error while getting interface flags
[20:03] <rsr> no such device
[20:04] <ivoks> which network cards are we talking about and which ubuntu version?
[20:05] <ivoks> lspci shows PCI devices, that doesn't mean those devices work or are supported
[20:14] <infinity> rsr: Are you literally typing "ethx"?
[20:14] <infinity> rsr: Cause that could cause a problem or two. :P
[20:15] <infinity> rsr: Try "sudo ifconfig -a" and see if you have any network cards usefully listed.
[20:15] <rsr> of course not
[20:15] <rsr> lol
[20:15] <rsr> but I reinstalled a fresh system
[20:15] <rsr> now its ok
[20:15] <infinity> rsr: Right, but whatever you're calling your NIC, it's obviously not named that by the kernel, is my point.
[20:16] <rsr> ill just copy the config files from the one in production
[20:16] <infinity> rsr: So, rather tan blindly guessing, have a look at what you have?
[20:16] <rsr> yes
[20:16] <infinity> s/tan/than/
[20:16] <rsr> I got it
[20:16] <rsr> any idea for high availability?
[20:18] <ivoks> rsr: which ubuntu version?
[20:20] <rsr> 8.10

[20:22]  * ivoks is becoming addicted to Juanola's de limon
[20:38] <CNLiberal> i was directed here from the main ubuntu channel
[20:38] <CNLiberal> i'm having issues with my MDADM array
[20:38] <CNLiberal> specifically, the array seems to stop all writes or deletes for no reason at all
[20:39] <CNLiberal> i'm in the middle of editing my music files with EasyTag and the program was doing a mass re-write of the ID3 tags
[20:39] <CNLiberal> in the middle, it has hung
[20:39] <CNLiberal> i'm not able to add or delete any files from the array
[20:39] <CNLiberal> this has happened a couple times before
[20:50] <Gargoyle> Evenin' all
[20:52] <vbabiy> Any one have any idea what would make ubuntu do this ping google.ne: and it starts google.ne.com
[20:52] <vbabiy> running on 9.04 server
[20:52] <ion_> Could the DNS server you use be doing something strange?
[20:52] <vbabiy> It also does the same when I use curl or lynx
[20:53] <vbabiy> ion_: no when I do nslookup it get: ** server can't find google.ne: NXDOMAIN
[20:53] <ion_> What does getent hosts google.ne say?
[20:54] <rsr> is there a way I can see if the cable connected is actually connected to eth0 and not eth1?
[20:54] <vbabiy> howsthe ~/logs/howsthedotcom: getent hosts google.ne
[20:54] <vbabiy> 63.77.241.229   google.ne.com
[20:54] <ion_> grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
[20:54] <vbabiy> grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
[20:54] <vbabiy> hosts:          files dns
[20:55] <rsr> ion_ was that for me?
[20:55] <ivoks> rsr: dmesg | grep eth
[20:55] <rsr> ok
[20:55] <ion_> vbabiy: Please pastebin /etc/resolv.conf
[20:56] <rsr> eth0 switches between link up and link down
[20:56] <vbabiy> http://dpaste.com/48741/
[20:56] <vbabiy> ion_: ^
[20:57] <ion_> vbabiy: I’m out of ideas then. The last thing i thought of was some search directive or equivalent in resolv.conf causing the problem.
[20:58] <vbabiy> Is there a package that would do this, I mean I run 9.04 on my laptop and it works fine. But my server is doing this
[21:00] <Gargoyle> vbabiy: I take it you don't have any relevant entries in /etc/hosts?
[21:00] <vbabiy> cat /etc/hosts
[21:00] <vbabiy> 127.0.0.1     localhost localhost.localdomain
[21:00] <vbabiy> 127.0.0.1     howsthe.com
[21:00] <vbabiy> Gargoyle: looks right to me
[21:02] <ion_> vbabiy: strace -f -s10000 -o strace.getent getent hosts google.ne, anything interesting in the output?
[21:03] <vbabiy> strace -f -s10000 -o strace.getent getent hosts google.ne
[21:03] <vbabiy> 63.77.241.229   google.ne.com
[21:03] <vbabiy> This just makes no sense to me
[21:04] <vbabiy> ion_: do you want to see the file
[21:05] <ion_> You might want to skim through it to verify it doesn’t contain any private data (it shouldn’t, but you can’t be too careful) and then pastebin it as well.
[21:15] <vbabiy_> ion_: did you see th paste
[21:16] <ion_> No messages from you reached the channel.
[21:16] <vbabiy__> ion_: did you see th paste
[21:17] <vbabiy__> if not here it is http://pastebin.com/d6d5ab5ca
[21:18] <FFForever> is there a way to print the final usage?, like 32mb used out of blah, the 32 would include the used - cache/buffered/free
[21:19] <vbabiy> FFForever: I think you want free -m
[21:23] <vbabiy> Any one else have any idea when I try to ping a domain that is can't be resolved and dos not have a .com ubuntu addes it to the end. Example google.ne it pings google.ne.com
[21:26] <hvn> maybe the nameserver you are using is trying to be helpful
[21:27] <hvn> does e.g., running host whatever resolve to whatever.com or something along that
[21:27] <ion_> vbabiy: I’m again out of ideas. The program queries about google.ne, gets a response that *does not* contain “google.ne.com” and then immediately proceeds to query about google.ne.com. Dunno what could cause that.
[21:28] <vbabiy> well thanks for your help ion_
[21:29] <hvn> if I do this: host google.ne.com ns95.worldnic.com
[21:29] <hvn> I get back: google.ne.com has address 63.77.241.229
[21:29] <hvn> and ns95.worldnic.com I got from the pastebin above
[21:30] <ion_> vbabiy: You seem to have nscd installed. Could it perhaps have something to do with this?
[21:30] <vbabiy> ion_: installed after I noticed the issue
[21:31] <vbabiy> hvn: not sure what you mean?
[21:32] <hvn> line 252 on your pastebin link shows ns95.worldnic.com
[21:32] <hvn> If I query it for google.ne.com I get back the same IP address as you did
[21:32] <hvn> s/query/query using host/
[21:32] <infinity> vbabiy: Sounds to me like you have .com in your resolv.conf
[21:33] <vbabiy> infinity: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[21:33] <vbabiy> nameserver 72.3.128.240
[21:33] <vbabiy> nameserver 72.3.128.241
[21:33] <infinity> vbabiy: output of hostname and hostname -f?
[21:34] <vbabiy> howsthe ~: hostname
[21:34] <vbabiy> howsthe.com
[21:34] <vbabiy> howsthe ~: hostname  -f
[21:34] <vbabiy> howsthe.com
[21:34] <Skaag> is there a ready made intrepid kernel with grsecurity?
[21:34] <vbabiy> infinity: ^
[21:35] <infinity> vbabiy: for starters, "foo.com" isn't a hostname.  The resolver might be trying to be clever.
[21:36] <infinity> vbabiy: But, also, your nameserver is extra clever.
[21:36] <infinity> adconrad@cthulhu:~$ nslookup
[21:36] <infinity> > server 72.3.128.240
[21:36] <infinity> Default server: 72.3.128.240
[21:36] <infinity> Address: 72.3.128.240#53
[21:36] <infinity> > google.ne
[21:36] <infinity> Server:		72.3.128.240
[21:36] <infinity> Address:	72.3.128.240#53
[21:36] <infinity> ** server can't find google.ne.0c3.net: REFUSED
[21:36] <infinity> vbabiy: Notice how it's tacking 0c3.net (my domain) on the end of the result?
[21:37] <infinity> Oh, wait, that's nslookup being clever.
[21:37] <infinity> Yeah, I'm half asleep.
[21:37] <vbabiy> infinity: you think, I should just change my hostname to something like howsthedotcom
[21:37] <infinity> vbabiy: At any rate, your machine thinks ".com" is your search domain, so it adds it to the end of unresolvable hosts.
[21:37] <infinity> vbabiy: Or, you could just not worry about it?
[21:38] <infinity> vbabiy: Most people have search domains.  Yours just happens to be silly. :P
[21:38] <vbabiy> infinity: its a big problem for me, cause hosthe.com service to break :D
[21:38] <infinity> vbabiy: Or, add a "search" or "domain" line to resolv.conf, if you want a more useful one.
[21:38] <infinity> vbabiy: It's a big problem for you that unresolvable names are broken?
[21:38] <infinity> vbabiy: Real hosts (like google.com) surely work fine?
[21:39] <vbabiy> infinity: right but names like google.ne also work fine since ne.com is a valid domain
[21:39] <ion_> Ah, i didn’t realize a missing search/domain in resolv.conf causes DNS lookup to try to be “smart”.
[21:39] <vbabiy> ion_: me either
[21:39] <TheDJACR> My system won't boot past Starting Kernel Logging Daemon
[21:39] <ion_> I expected the only result to be that you need to specify FQDNs everywhere.
[21:39] <infinity> vbabiy: I'm still failing to see how that's a problem...
[21:39] <TheDJACR> It just hangs.
[21:40] <infinity> vbabiy: So, stop looking up unresolvable hosts?
[21:40] <vbabiy> infinity: well the backend uses urllib2 from python and when I tell it to go check google.ne it gets google.ne.com
[21:41] <infinity> vbabiy: But why are you telling it to check something that doesn't exist?
[21:41] <infinity> (Or, again, why do you care?)
[21:41] <vbabiy> infinity: Well I don't know it doesn't exist till it checks
[21:41] <ion_> A user probably mistyped something and the service should have said “can’t resolve” instead of using google.ne.com blindly.
[21:42] <TheDJACR> What shall I do :P
[21:42] <infinity> ...
[21:42] <infinity> Right, I'm failing to get information about this service, or why it's cool to do lookups of unresolvable hosts. :P
[21:43] <infinity> vbabiy: Just put "search howsthe.com" in your resolv.conf, and make sure you don't use wildcard DNS for your own domain, problem solved.
[21:43] <vbabiy> infinity: thank, it sure is
[21:43] <vbabiy> And I am planing on fixing the issue of it blinding check wrong addresses
[21:43] <vbabiy> thanks for all your help guys ion_, infinity
[21:58] <TheDJACR> It was an LDAP misconfig.
[21:58] <TheDJACR> LDAP shouldn't halt the boot, though.
[22:39] <rysiek|pl> hi guys
[22:39] <rysiek|pl> I am sure aI am missing something opbvious here
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> I have got those iptables rules
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> http://pastebin.com/m6d2104f9
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> but NOTHING shows up, either in dmesg nor in /var/log/*
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> any hints?
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> yes, I am generating the packets ;)
[22:43] <Skaag> try the iptables channel maybe?
[22:43] <Skaag> personally I'm very weak with iptables
[22:44] <Skaag> I use shorewall to cover myself ;-)
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> tried
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> the channel, that is
[22:44] <Skaag> (it then calls iptables but at least I have a layer I can understand easily)
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> yeah
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> I am quite good with iptables
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> butr it just won't log
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> there is something dumb in that, I know
[22:44] <Skaag> you think some kernel module might not be loaded?
[22:44] <rysiek|pl> prolly
[22:45] <rysiek|pl> loiaded ipt_LOG already
[22:45] <Skaag> was about to suggest that
[22:45] <Skaag> you checking in syslog?
[22:45] <rysiek|pl> yeah
[22:45] <Skaag> what if it's setup to forward to another destination?
[22:45] <rysiek|pl> grep 'my-log-prefix' /var/log/*
[22:45] <rysiek|pl> it's not
[22:45] <Skaag> such as ulog
[22:45] <Skaag> hm. ok.
[23:02] <phoenixz> Ubuntu server edition will allow me to work with LVM during installation?
[23:03] <Skaag> I believe so
[23:03] <Skaag> it's an option during the installation process
[23:05] <phoenixz> Skaag: will it also alow me to specify logical volumes (so that after that I can use them)?
[23:06] <Skaag> probably although I haven't tried
[23:06] <Skaag> it makes sense however
[23:06] <Skaag> or else what's the point
[23:14] <phoenixz> id think so
[23:54] <phoenixz> How can I let SSH ignore the knownhosts file? I have some weird problem with a program that keeps replacing the knnown host file and with that it messes up its own ssh calls.. I want to configure ssh to ignore the known hosts file for the moment, just to be able to continue testing. How do I do this?
