[01:49] <jdarias> how can i get the info about packages and cpu temperature
[01:54] <jdarias> i mean the info that appears when a user logs in for the first time
[01:59] <jdarias> can i get that info by issuing a command in the console?
[02:00] <jdarias> hello???
[02:01] <jdarias> helloooooo! (everybody got the rage virus so nobody answers)
[02:33] <stiv2k> hi
[02:33] <stiv2k> my roundcube-webmail got hosed when trying to upgrade
[02:34] <stiv2k> something is wrong with the mysql database, it needs to be upgraded i think
[02:35] <stiv2k> if only i can figure out how to start the upgrade process agian for roundcube
[02:36] <giovani> sounds like a roundcube question then ...
[02:36] <stiv2k> i guess
[02:36] <stiv2k> giovani: how do i start the update process with apt(itude) again?
[02:37] <giovani> what update process?
[02:37] <stiv2k> when i began to update roundcube, it asked me a series of questions what to do about the database configuration.  i want to go back to that so i can try it again
[02:38] <giovani> was this in a web browser, or in the dpkg configuration?
[02:38] <stiv2k> dpkg configuration
[02:38] <stiv2k> it was a ncurses type of dialog
[02:38] <giovani> dpkg-reconfigure
[02:38] <stiv2k> nothing happens when i do dpkg-reconfigure roundcube
[02:39] <giovani> the package is roundcube-core or something, right?
[02:39] <stiv2k> ah yeah
[02:39] <stiv2k> roundcube-core
[02:40] <Alex_21> Hi, all,
[02:41] <Alex_21> I would like to scan my network since the ip of one of my servers changed after a router upgrade and I can't find it. I have NMAP, but I don't remember how to can 192.168.0.0/24
[02:41] <Alex_21> Can someone help me?
[02:41] <Alex_21> Please
[02:41] <giovani> read the nmap manpage
[02:42] <giovani> it's very well-documented
[02:43] <Alex_21> I am having a hard time reading it
[02:43] <giovani> why?
[02:44] <Alex_21> I can only read small chunks of man pages because of my screen reader
[02:45] <giovani> page down
[02:45] <Alex_21> Nope
[02:45] <giovani> then fix your screen reader
[02:45] <giovani> or use google
[02:45] <giovani> to find an online copy of the manpage
[02:45] <giovani> ubuntu has a website for manpages
[02:46] <Alex_21> There is nothing wrong with my SR
[02:46] <giovani> there is if you can't page down
[02:46] <Alex_21> I was asking a simple question as I struggle through the Man page
[02:46] <giovani> I'm in favor of you finding the very well-documented answer, rather than handing it to you
[02:46] <Alex_21> No, there isn't. I can page down, but the way things work, I can't read what is in between pages
[02:47] <Alex_21> It is quite unusual behavior :(
[02:47] <giovani> use the up and down arrows to move one line at a time
[02:49] <Alex_21> It hits invisible barriers
[02:49] <Alex_21> It is a well-known but in Terminal
[02:49] <giovani> this is not normal behavior
[02:49] <giovani> anyway
[02:50] <giovani> I've said that you can find manpages on the web
[02:50] <giovani> ubuntu has a website for them
[02:50] <Alex_21> I am reading a hotow on it as we speak
[02:50] <Alex_21> Howto on it, ... Sorry
[02:50] <Alex_21> Also, it is usual behavior
[02:51] <Alex_21> It just is not ideal behavior
[02:51] <giovani> no, the default manpage reader doesn't hit "invisible barriers"
[02:51] <giovani> that's not normal behavior
[02:52] <Alex_21> With a screen reader it does
[02:52] <giovani> nope
[02:52] <Alex_21> It has as far back as I can remember on
[02:53] <Alex_21> I have used a screen reader for years. I think I know when I find a bug and it is reproducable accross machines
[02:55] <Alex_21> Unless you think differently, I am sure this is a bug
[02:56] <giovani> well there's no way to really prove this, or troubleshoot it -- did you find the manpage online?
[02:56] <Alex_21> I should call up software dev team staff on Monday and rereport it
[02:56] <Alex_21> I did not look. I found a nice walk-through though
[02:56] <Alex_21> So I am on my way
[02:57] <Alex_21> I realized my server isn't connected to the network even
[02:57] <Alex_21> It seems anyways
[02:57] <Alex_21> I'll bee back.
[02:58] <Alex_21> I'm going to go to the rack and fix it.
[02:58] <Alex_21> Thanks for your help
[02:58] <Alex_21> Good night
[03:59] <burn_> anyone have a package or something to show temp and other stats on a web page?
[04:00] <Hasbro> Hi
[04:01] <Hasbro> On my Ubuntu installation I cannot resolve anything without editing my hosts file :S I'll type ping google.com won't work unless I add that as an entry in my hosts file.
[04:01] <Clackamas> Hi, I need some help in trying to preserve my RAID moving from SuSE 10.3 -> Ubuntu 9.04.
[04:01] <Hasbro> Has anyone any ideas about this issue?
[04:01] <Clackamas> Do I need anything besides the UUID and disk mappings?
[04:01] <Clackamas> I am using the md driver.
[04:02] <Clackamas> Hasbro: you probably don't have DHCP set up correctly.
[04:02] <Hasbro> Any guides?
[04:02] <giovani> Hasbro: your DNS isn't configured or working properly, obviously
[04:03] <Hasbro> giovani, I use my provider's nameservers
[04:03] <giovani> which are?
[04:03] <Hasbro> • ns1.limestonenetworks.com
[04:03] <Hasbro> • ns2.limestonenetworks.com
[04:03] <Clackamas> Hasbro: what is in /etc/resolv.conf?
[04:03] <Hasbro> search arcemu.info
[04:03] <Hasbro> nameserver 209.130.152.7
[04:04] <giovani> Hasbro: those dns servers aren't returning records for the internet
[04:04] <Hasbro> How can we check?
[04:04] <giovani> and you are not specifying them in /etc/resolv.conf
[04:04] <giovani> i just did check
[04:04] <giovani> what makes you think you're using ns1 and ns2.limestonenetworks.com?
[04:04] <Hasbro> I set the domains to them
[04:04] <Hasbro> lol
[04:04] <giovani> uh
[04:04] <giovani> I think you may be confused how DNS works
[04:04] <Hasbro> Yes, wasn't thinking
[04:05] <Hasbro> wait so question
[04:05] <Hasbro> I did not edit
[04:05] <Hasbro> this
[04:05] <giovani> there's a huge difference between authoritative DNS and internet resolvers
[04:05] <Hasbro> and it was set to 209.130.152.7
[04:05] <Hasbro> which if you go it in a browser, brings up a page
[04:05] <Clackamas> ns.limestonenetworks.com is 74.63.208.2
[04:05] <giovani> Clackamas: ignore that -- he's confusing his authoritative DNS for his domain with resolvers
[04:05] <Hasbro> what's ubuntu's default nameserver set to?
[04:05] <Hasbro> sorry
[04:05] <giovani> Hasbro: it's not set -- that perobably came from your DNS at cologuys
[04:05] <Hasbro> what resolver
[04:05] <giovani> err
[04:05] <giovani> DHCP
[04:06] <giovani> or cologuys configured it for you
[04:06] <Hasbro> nah
[04:06] <giovani> well someone configured the box
[04:06] <Hasbro> I run Ubuntu in a vm on windows
[04:06] <giovani> haha
[04:06] <Clackamas> giovani I will let you drive.
[04:06] <Hasbro> It doesn't set to anything by default?
[04:06] <giovani> Hasbro: no, of course not
[04:06] <giovani> that's up to you to configure
[04:06] <Hasbro> so if I leave it blank, what will happen?
[04:06] <giovani> you won't be able to resolve domains
[04:06] <Hasbro> giovani, so question
[04:07] <Hasbro> since I run it in a vm on windows, can I just get what ever my windows one
[04:07] <Hasbro> is set to?
[04:07] <giovani> yes ... but you'd have to configure your vm software properly
[04:07] <Hasbro> also, might I ask what the search line is for?
[04:07] <Hasbro> search arcemu.info
[04:07] <giovani> to either pass that ... or find the information in the windows host, and copy it
[04:07] <Hasbro> in resolve.conf
[04:07] <giovani> it's for automatically appending that domain on non-FQDN names you attempt to resolve
[04:07] <giovani> i.e. ping foo
[04:07] <giovani> will search DNS for foo.arcemu.info
[04:07] <Hasbro> oh
[04:08] <Hasbro> so ping google.com
[04:08] <Hasbro> is searching forr google.com.arcemu.info maybe?
[04:08] <giovani> no
[04:08] <Hasbro> hrm
[04:08] <giovani> google.com is a FQDN
[04:08] <giovani> your DNS is broken, obviously
[04:08] <Hasbro> could you check if 209.130.152.7 is a resolver?
[04:08] <Hasbro> maybe it's vmware's settings which are fubared
[04:08] <giovani> well it only has settings you give it
[04:09] <giovani> but no, 209.130.152.7 is not resolving domains for me
[04:09] <giovani> however
[04:09] <giovani> that's a cologuys IP
[04:09] <Hasbro> cologuys?
[04:09] <giovani> so it's possibly limited to the internal network
[04:09] <giovani> that's your IP space owner
[04:09] <giovani> whomever you rent a server from is either cologuys, or is a customer of cologuys
[04:09] <Hasbro> I see
[04:09] <Hasbro> but the thing is
[04:09] <giovani> this is a question for your provider
[04:10] <Hasbro> I haven't modified any of this, and it worked on friday morning
[04:10] <giovani> not #ubuntu-server
[04:10] <Hasbro> and then it stopped working
[04:10] <giovani> maybe their DNS server is broken now
[04:10] <Hasbro> hrm
[04:10] <giovani> once again, this is a question for your provider
[04:10] <Hasbro> I'll contact support, 1 moment
[04:10] <giovani> ubuntu is working perfectly
[04:11] <Hasbro> giovani, do you have a server I could use to resolve domains off of?
[04:11] <giovani> no
[04:11] <Hasbro> what is yours set to then?
[04:11] <giovani> they're set to opendns
[04:11] <giovani> by way of a caching resolver
[04:11] <Hasbro> so are there free resolvers out there?
[04:11] <giovani> yes
[04:12] <Hasbro> which is open dns?
[05:13] <Hasbro> giovani
[05:13] <Hasbro> could I setup my own dns server?
[05:13] <Hasbro> on the machine?
[05:17] <Jomyoot> If NFS volume in /etc/fstab fails to mount. then will machine fail to boot?
[05:19] <Hasbro> giovani, nevermind found my own answer and a nice guide :)
[05:19] <Hasbro> cheers
[05:20] <Hasbro> Jomyoot was yours deleted or soemthing?
[05:20] <Hasbro> something*
[05:20] <Jomyoot> no
[05:20] <Jomyoot> just wondering in case
[05:20] <Jomyoot> in case the NFS server is offline
[05:21] <Hasbro> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=355869
[05:21] <Hasbro> check that out
[05:21] <Jomyoot> because anything /etc/fstab has problem it seems to locks up machine
[05:27] <kjkjava> Hey there
[05:29] <kjkjava> I'm having some trouble setting up Ubuntu Server 9.04 LAMP on the network side of things
[05:30] <kjkjava> I have set port forwarding on 80 and 22
[05:30] <kjkjava> and an online port scanner shows them as open
[05:30] <kjkjava> (and only them)
[05:31] <kjkjava> Also, web pages pull up fine on the internal IP
[05:31] <kjkjava> and same with SSH (works internally, external port is open, but still nothing)
[06:01] <kjkjava> okay, so even though tracerts can't make it to my global IP, my friend (outside of the network) was able to get to my site
[06:01] <kjkjava> and so was a proxy
[06:02] <kjkjava> so it looks like everyone outside of my network can get to me via my external IP
[06:03] <kjkjava> so my new question is, why won't it work from the inside?
[06:03] <kjkjava> but I'm happy, I suppose
[11:44] <fbc-mx> Could someone tell me how(or point me in the right direction) to implement Event MPM on my server?
[12:40] <Anirban1987>  i am having problem while upgrading SQL server. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5562/ubuntu20090621163808.png
[12:42] <anirban>  i am having problem while upgrading SQL server. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5562/ubuntu20090621163808.png
[12:48] <pmatulis> anirban: it looks like you are mixing up debian and ubuntu packages
[12:50] <anirban> pmatulis : Isn't ubuntu and debian packages same ?
[12:52] <anirban> Then how to upgrade SQL server to 5.1.34 in Ubuntu ?
[12:54] <pmatulis> anirban: no they're not the same
[12:54] <pmatulis> anirban: just upgrade your system in the normal way
[12:54] <pmatulis> $ sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[12:55] <anirban> pmatulis : But it is stuck in SQL server 5.0.67 in Ubuntu 9.04 server. Where the current release is 5.1.35
[12:55] <pmatulis> first of all, it's not 'SQL server'.  it's 'MySQL server'
[12:57] <pmatulis> anirban: i see 5.0.75 for jaunty
[13:10] <Hecate> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mysql-server&searchon=names&suite=jaunty&section=all
[13:11] <Hecate> anirban, universe already offers the mysql server version 5.1.31-1
[13:11] <anirban> Hecate : But how to get that ?
[13:12] <Hecate> enable universe and install the package
[13:46] <anirban> I have uninstalled the unsupported package and installed the universe package. Still it is showing error : http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5184/ubuntu20090621181240l.png
[13:49] <Hecate> anirban, what happens when you invoke "invoke-rc.d mysql start"?
[13:50] <anirban> Hecate : Same error
[13:50] <Hecate> any output?
[13:51] <anirban> Same error that was showing earlier.
[13:51] <Hecate> except for the "fail"?
[13:52] <anirban> action start failed
[13:53] <Hecate> i need sth to work with. any details in the syslog?
[13:54] <anirban> where to get the syslog ? Plz help
[13:56] <Hecate> /var/log/messages
[13:56] <Hecate> maybe there's sth in /var/log/mysql/ too-
[13:58] <anirban> There is something like denied_mask="::r"
[13:59] <anirban> Hecate : Can u hav an SSH access and look into the problem ?
[13:59] <Hecate> maybe the current apparmor profile is not compatible with mysql-5.1, but that's just a guess
[13:59] <Hecate> if you consider me trustworthy enough, i could.
[14:00] <anirban> Coming to private chat
[14:29] <mobi-sheep> I'm thinking about creating a Ubuntu Home Theater PC Server --- Preferably XBMC.  What could you run on server that would benefit me (the home user) the most?
[14:30] <mobi-sheep> And on the side note, I'm fairly experienced with Ubuntu already.  I want to dip my feet in the server / networking area more. :)
[14:35] <giovani> mobi-sheep: ubuntu-server has the same packages as the desktop version
[14:35] <giovani> so there's really little-to-no difference from a what-will-run perspective
[14:38] <mobi-sheep> giovani: I mean literally hooking it up to a HDMI television in living room so I would like to avoid the GUI.  In a way, I'm saying that I want to set it up to run XBMC as a default session.  I also looked at LIRC remote control.  I only want to know what I could do that would benefit me or my local network.
[14:39] <giovani> well xbmc is a gui
[14:39] <giovani> and has to run on xorg
[14:39] <mobi-sheep> giovani: Few packages would be fine for starters.  It'll give me something to look at.
[14:40] <giovani> I don't know what you're asking for though
[14:40] <mobi-sheep> Does that mean I have to install Ubuntu-desktop or will xorg be sufficient?
[14:40] <giovani> it means running xbmc on ubuntu-server might be a bit of a mess
[14:40] <mobi-sheep> giovani: I simply want to learn more about server packages.
[14:40] <giovani> it's most certainly possible
[14:40] <giovani> mobi-sheep: there are thousands
[14:41] <giovani> given that xbmc is a desktop-oriented application, it's not supported here
[14:43] <mobi-sheep> giovani: Heh.  Alright.  I'm copying system files for XBMC live to usb at the moment.  Thanks for the small talk.  I'll figure out what I'm trying to do.  I think I'm trying to achieve a ultimate HTPC + Home Server type thingy. :)
[14:59] <ruben23> hi
[15:04] <ruben23> hi how do i change hostname on ubuntu server
[15:05] <_ruben> find all files on the system that refer to the old name, change to new name, reboot :P
[15:20] <ruben23> are there modprobe.conf setting on ubuntu server
[15:20] <Hecate> ruben23, basically that would be /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, but as _ruben said a 'grep -r "`hostname`" /etc' can't hurt
[15:23] <ruben23> Hecate:ok, but how about modprobe.conf can i find that on ubuntu or what is the equivalent config for that on ubuntu
[15:23] <giovani> ruben23: ubuntu uses the modprobe.d structure
[15:23] <giovani> look at /etc/modprobe.d/
[15:29] <ruben23> giovani:its empty
[15:29] <giovani> right
[15:29] <ruben23> is it normal
[15:29] <giovani> yes ... if you'd like to place something you would've placed in modprobe.conf, you do it there
[15:30] <ruben23> im trying to find and load the module of  Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III] (rev 8b)
[15:30] <ruben23> i install it on the pci but not detected
[15:30] <ruben23> by the ubuntu server machne
[15:31] <giovani> ok, and?
[15:32] <ruben23> if theres module for via-rhine i might load it
[15:32] <giovani> understood
[15:32] <giovani> so load it
[15:35] <ruben23> giovani:don know how
[15:37] <giovani> sudo modprobe via-rhine

[16:41] <ruben23> how would it be written
[16:41] <giovani> ruben23: "man interfaces"
[16:42] <metalfan___> ruben23, next time please write your question before posting it, check if for logical mistakes, for spelling mistakes. thx
[16:42] <metalfan___> it
[16:44] <ruben23> metalfan___:ok
[16:44] <metalfan___> somehow my via epia-mII board starts the installation, but after i leave the first "gui" screen some kernel messages scroll by and then it says "Trying..." which results in a "signal out of range" message from my monitor? doesnt ubuntu server always start a console gui?

[16:58] <_gpg_> anyone can help please
[16:59] <giovani> _gpg_: you're likely to get better help in the official bazaar channel: #bzr

[18:59] <blacksunseven> hello
[18:59] <blacksunseven> i'm looking for some help with apache2 (securing it, ssl only, etc.)
[19:04] <Hasbro> giovani you here?
[19:04] <Hasbro> I updated my resolver if I didn't say so last night :)
[19:33] <kjkjava> Is there a recommended FTP daemon? or will anything do (proftp, vsftpd)?
[19:40] <slestak_> anyone good with gparted?  Im trying to shuffle some space out of a logical partition sda4 out to a primary partition sda3?
[19:40] <_ruben> kjkjava: its a matter of personal preference combined with your list wishes/requirements :)
[19:40] <slestak_> right now i am just one by one, copying the space left in gparted, one fs at a time
[19:51] <jdarias> i have ubuntu server installed on a laptop. Is it possible to have dpms off everytime i boot it?
[19:52] <jdarias> currently i have to issue sudo vbetool dpms off to turn off the screen (that´s what i want to do)
[19:59] <_ruben> jdarias: put "vbetool dpms off" in /etc/rc.local oughta do the trick i'd say
[19:59] <jdarias> nobody?
[20:00] <jdarias> gonna check that now ruben! :) ty
[20:02] <jdarias> brb, will tell you if it worked or not.
[20:07] <jdarias> it worked, ruben, thank you very much!
[20:08] <_ruben> nice :)
[20:10] <slestak_> _ruben: would you know how to troubleshoot a usplash problem on a laptop?  It is the only one (of like 20 installs) i have seen the usplash screen distorted.  on livecd boot, it looks correct
[20:10] <Hasbro> slestak_, does the livecd use it's own drivers?
[20:11] <slestak_> Hasbro: i dont know.  This is not a server problem, we can take to to pm or #ubuntu if anyone has a problem with OT
[20:11] <slestak_> i would think the 9.04 livecd would use its own drivers, probably nv, i am using nvidia accel driver with hd install
[20:11] <Hasbro> Might be best to try #ubuntu ;)
[20:12] <slestak_> i was over there (still am) I was talking to _ruben over there, and saw him over here as well
[20:12] <slestak_> sorry, i know its OT
[20:13] <slestak_> im doing some gparted amnipulations rignt now, so i'll save the usplash problem for another day
[20:17] <slestak_> i have 60g available in a logical partition sda4, i really need to get it out of there and into a new primary partition
[20:17] <slestak_> i have moved it up to the front of the logical partition, but do not see how to take it any further
[20:18] <_ruben> lvm for the win! ;)
[20:18] <slestak_> is that the only solution?
[20:18] <slestak_> i mean, am i screwed with this install, i can redo it,m just reying to extend and learn
[20:18] <_ruben> probably not, but sure makes things easier
[20:19] <_ruben> and whats the real underlying problem? why do you need to move the space ?
[20:19] <slestak_> im trying to get xp home onto a primary partition, basically dual boot - ubuntu installed first
[20:20] <slestak_> i kinda planned ahead, i have jaunty in an extended partition
[20:20] <_ruben> "best" practice is to install windows first .. its has a deep love for the first primary partition, and destroys any unknown bootloaders
[20:21] <slestak_> yeah
[20:21] <slestak_> well, i keep good backups, im gonna just redo it.
[20:21] <slestak_> ty for your counsel :) happy fathers day to you dads in here
[20:58] <ghostlines> I don't want to use openvpn's script cuz I already have a bridge setiup
[22:11] <ErikWestrup> How do I, in the terminal, choose what interface to use for internet connections? I want to use 'dnep0' but right now the system uses another wirless interface.
[22:19] <pmatulis> ErikWestrup: your wireless card was autoconfigured on the server?
[22:58] <ErikWestrup> nvm, I found a way out from the cloud of confusion and found a solution. :-)
[23:08] <hamush> does anyone know if dapper is still supported with security updates? last i heard, it was supposed to be supported, at least for server components, until 2011, but i keep on reading that it has lots of open CVEs and is not safe to be using.
[23:30] <diffra> sdf
[23:43] <pmatulis> ErikWestrup: what was your solution?
[23:51] <stiv2k> hi
[23:51] <stiv2k> what is this error mean
[23:51] <stiv2k> Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
[23:51] <stiv2k> getting it from mysql
[23:51] <stiv2k> phpmyadmin
[23:53] <ajmitch> stiv2k: check the username & password for that user in the phpmyadmin config
[23:56] <stiv2k> hmm
[23:56] <stiv2k> its just set to $dbuser and $dbpass
