[01:15] <nat2610> I'm trying to flash a bios on a linux server and I want to copy freedos on a floppy disk, I'm following those instruction : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 where it says to do  a dd if=FDOEM.144 of=/dev/fd0   my issue is that dd says that it does it at 104M/s and in fact it doesn't do it at all I can't recall,  but I think there is some kind of sync comamnd to type to get the data to really be copied
[01:15] <nat2610> on the fd0 ... anybody see what I m talking about and can give me that command ?
[01:16] <nat2610> or know how to actually write the FDEEOM on a floppy disk
[01:28] <matt1211> I have a question, I have a parralel port with a printer plugged into it, to print, I usually use the command cat /path/to/file >/dev/devicename.  My questions are, will this work to print to the printer, and how do I detect the device name of the printer?
[01:32] <nat2610> matt1211, it should work but you can't detect the device name, you have to use the serial device or something like ... (ttyS0 probably)
[04:23] <hikenboot> hello I setup ubuntu server with a non raided /boot directory and a raided / and /home directory with lvm so its raided and on lvm...On first boot it fails saying there appears to be more than one degraded raid devices...anyone know how to fix?
[04:23] <hikenboot> /proc/modules doesnt list anything about lvm
[04:23] <twb> hikenboot: probably because it's built into the kernel.
[04:23] <twb> hikenboot: try /proc/mdstatu
[04:23] <twb> hikenboot: try /proc/mdstat
[04:24] <twb> You'll probably find [U_] or [_U], meaning one node has been removed due to it breaking.
[04:24] <twb> You normally try readding it manually -- if it drops out again, the disk is damaged and needs to be replaced
[04:24] <twb> For critical data you can just skip to replacing the disk immediately, I guess
[04:25] <hikenboot> they are new discs that have been used only a few times separately to install windows on
[04:25] <hikenboot> how would i reread it?
[04:57] <hikenboot> when it drops me to the shell it indicates both md devices are not active cat /proc/mdstat
[05:08] <twb> OK, then it's more likely that something has forgotten how to assemble your arra
[05:08] <twb> *array
[05:08] <twb> Or maybe you knocked a cable loose or something
[06:15] <Preston_> anyone have any idea why webmin firewall does not seem to actually apply any iptables to my system. it's as if there is some software I am missing it say's it is starting the firewall on boot as well. i've looked for active iptables they are all empty ubuntu 9.04 server
[06:16] <twb> Preston_: webmin is wrong; avoid it.
[06:16] <twb> I can never find this on my own... where is the help.u.c or wiki.u.c page that describes Ubuntu's policy on what goes into -security, -updates, etc.?
[06:16] <twb> Specifically, the page that basically says "we promise to only put security updates into -security".
[06:17] <Preston_> so what fire wall do you suggest
[06:18] <twb> Hmm... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates?
[06:18] <twb> Preston_: ubuntu's default firewall infrastructure is ufw.  It is disabled by default.
[06:18] <Preston_> thx
[06:19] <Preston_> I've got it in I just need to learn to use it
[07:19] <VSpike> For a new setup, should I install samba or samba4?  It's for SOHO use, print serving with no domain
[07:37] <twb> Surely samba4 is not ready for production use?
[07:38] <henkjan> Samba 4 is still under heavy development. Samba 4 is not due to replace Samba 3 soon. Many of the required core features are present, but the code is still alpha and user tools as well as some core features are still missing.
[07:56] <VSpike> Thanks guys
[08:12] <jerroome> hello, I would like to partition 2 disks using preseed, but I can't find the syntax to choose which mountpoint to set on which disk. does anyone have an example using 2 hd with preseed
[08:12] <jerroome> ?
[08:14] <twb> jerroome: you don't want RAID across the disks?
[08:22] <jerroome> twb no I don't
[08:23] <jerroome> twb i.e. put /var and /boot and swap on one disk and /home and / on another one
[09:05] <Freewolf> hey all
[09:05] <Freewolf> I have a problem with kmyfirewall, is anybody here willing to help?
[10:26] <Guest60405>  What does it mean "recursion" in name.conf ?
[10:57] <slestak> iam having issues with a broadcom driver. i havethe tg3 driver installed from standard repo.  i have dl the src for the driver from braodcom, but I have not installed it.
[10:58] <slestak> can anyone confirm for me what verion the tg3 thqt ships with jaunty is?
[10:59] <_ruben> i'd expect that to be mentioned in `dmesg`
[10:59] <slestak> ty, i will look
[10:59] <blessed_guess> have you tried dpkg -l | grep tg3
[11:00] <slestak> ok, tyvm, it is 3.94
[11:00] <slestak> still a sucky driver :)  im getting 17k/s dl on local link
[11:00] <slestak> brb, got to run someone to airport
[11:01] <_ruben> ouch
[11:20] <slestak> _ruben: not too bad, only 2 miles down the road.  small regional, not like taking someone to ohare or lax
[11:25] <slestak> _ruben: i think im going to abandon this integrated nic.  broadcom has had several years to get this right, and its time to just add a pci nic and be done with it
[11:36] <_ruben> slestak: the ouch was about the 17k/s .. not the airport ;)
[11:37] <_ruben> never had any troubles with broadcom's myself though
[11:38] <heath|home> Hello, we are in the need of setting up production VM's of servers (DNS, http, mail, etc). We have looked into VMware, Citrix Xen, and the OSS Xen. The Citrix Xen does not have support for ubuntu. I am just looking for some opinions in the area.
[11:38] <Ethos> esxi supports ubuntu
[11:38] <Ethos> that's all I can help XD
[11:39] <heath|home> lol... That's what I was running originally and may just have to stick with that
[11:39] <_ruben> esxi works just fine for us as well ;)
[11:39] <heath|home> The Citrix Xen has debian support, but it seems pretty poor
[11:39] <heath|home> _ruben: does ESXi allow multiple resource hosts against a single nfs server?
[11:41] <_ruben> yes
[11:41] <_ruben> tho i only use nfs for cd/dvd image storage myself
[11:41] <_ruben> vms are on iscsi san
[13:07] <benc> is it possible to do load balancing using http cookies?
[13:07] <benc> is it possible to read cookies using apache?
[13:14] <ghostlines> does anyone know if it's possible to mount a remote dvd drive?
[13:17] <Ethos> it'd have to be shared on the target host
[13:24] <ghostlines> Ethos, ahh k i'll try and share it with nfs
[14:08] <sommer> ScottK-desktop: ping, I'm about to expire from the clamav team :(
[17:40] <jonathan_haglund> greetings! are there any updated resources about installing 9.04 on hyperV? the video goes super slow and can't see my network adapter
[17:45] <jmedina> jonathan_haglund: probably because is running Fully Virtualized, normally you need I/O para virtualized drivers to get full speed
[17:45] <jmedina> ask microsoft about it :)
[17:46] <jmedina> for Xen y KVM we got opensource para virtualized drivers
[17:47] <Steve^> mobi-sheep, phpmyadmin doesn't really need to install anything in the database, so I'll ignore it
[17:47] <mobi-sheep> Steve^: Alright.
[17:51] <jonathan_haglund> I read about a modification to the isolinux.cfg that would help, but you're right about para.  I may abandon hyperV now that I've got networking going in kvm
[18:00] <sgsax> anybody else doing krb5 auth against MS AD?
[19:18] <resno> I am looking to get a server, are there any machines Linux cant run?
[19:20] <\sh> anyone working with hp bl7000c blade enclosures with bl465/485/495c blades and ubuntu? :)
[19:46] <oruwork> question. can someone recommend an open source trouble support system ?
[19:50] <resno> I dont think anyone is here today.
[19:50] <resno> !help
[19:53] <riz> resno: ubuntu will run on just about any x86 (or x86_64) hardware you toss at it
[19:54] <resno> what is min requirement to run a small network, dhcp, proxy, webserver and a few others. 500mhz?
[19:59] <riz> resno: depending on the load, that should be just fine
[20:00] <CyD> I'm trying to complete PCI compliance on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. I'm planning to report that the PHP version check is a false positive, since I'm up to date and Ubuntu actively maintains my current version of PHP. Am I correct in these assumptions, or do I need to look at moving to PHP 5.2.8? Thanks much.
[20:01] <Reepicheep> resno: there is a lot of people doing that with a lot less then that.. but as riz pointed out it really depends on the amount of load
[20:02] <resno> Reepicheep: i truly imagine, it wont be doing much more then running. the network will have less then 3 users...
[20:02] <resno> at least as i envision it now
[20:02] <Reepicheep> what about the web server?
[20:03] <Reepicheep> what kinda pages / and about of hits are you thinking?
[20:03] <resno> mainly be used for me... i have a hosting account for public viewing
[20:03] <resno> might be useful is storing data: media, and music
[20:04] <Reepicheep> if it's just for internal usage.. and you have a machine laying around.. it should be plenty
[20:04] <resno> question, i want to stream music from it, is there a good way to do it?
[20:05] <Reepicheep> just keep in mind .. do you trust the hardware? if it is a gateway.. or in this instance  a proxy.. or even the DHCP server in a lesser way.. it needs to be running for you network to work
[20:05] <Reepicheep> stream music as in a file server?
[20:05] <resno> yes
[20:06] <Reepicheep> you shouldn't have to worry about that.. speed of the CPU doesn't really matter so much on file servers
[20:06] <ThunderWolf> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS server edition on a machine i have at home, it has a network card but i dont have a eth0 interface. Whats going one?
[20:07] <resno> Reepicheep: let me rephrase my question. i want to stream music from the server, what is a good way to set this up?
[20:07] <Reepicheep> ThunderWolf: does it show up when you run "lscpi | grep -i ethernet" ?
[20:08] <CyD> resno: easiest way is file shares, like samba (windows shares) or nfs. don't know if that's the idea you're shooting for
[20:08] <Reepicheep> resno: what are you streaming it to?
[20:08] <CyD> resno: i stream video and audio over wireless at home no problems to various boxes
[20:09] <CyD> if you dig on amarok, just tell it to grab your collection from the network share, then it's pretty transparent
[20:10] <ThunderWolf> Reepicheep i dint work, says command not found
[20:10] <ThunderWolf> *it
[20:10] <resno> CyD: Reepicheep iam thinking for something like iTunes.
[20:11] <Reepicheep> ThunderWolf: are you running jeos or full server?
[20:11] <ThunderWolf> hmm.. what do you mean?
[20:12] <ThunderWolf> Its ubuntu server edition 32 bits 8.04 LTS
[20:12] <ThunderWolf> and i only installed OpenSSH after installation
[20:13] <Reepicheep> resno: if you are connecting to a file server like CyD is then you don't really need much just HD space on the machine then share it out with (afp, samba, or NFS)  but then in itunes you would have to move you itunes library to the share..
[20:13] <Reepicheep> streaming to itunes is a hole nother thing
[20:14] <resno> Reepicheep: i am just trying to find a convient way to stream music off the server to windows/linux and other machines
[20:15] <Reepicheep> ThunderWolf: you are probably running full server.. JeOS is a very light install of server .. I'm not sure that LTS has it.. anyway make sure you have pciutils installed then try running lspci again
[20:15] <sgsax> ThunderWolf: this on a relatively new mobo?
[20:16] <sgsax> something with a new Intel chipset?
[20:16] <Sam-I-Am> "not overwrites" eh
[20:17] <ThunderWolf> Reepicheep finally got it
[20:17] <ThunderWolf> lspci
[20:17] <sgsax> resno: I used edna for personal streaming, dunno what kind of hardware requirements it has, but don't think it's very much
[20:17] <ThunderWolf> i found my network card
[20:17] <sgsax> ThunderWolf: so what does lspci say about it?
[20:18] <ThunderWolf> its just showed me my ethernet card model
[20:18] <ThunderWolf> so he recognizes it
[20:18] <resno> sgsax: sounds like a good idea. ill check it out.
[20:18] <ThunderWolf> so whats the problem with my network interface»
[20:18] <sgsax> lspci just reads the info out of the current pci strings table
[20:18] <ThunderWolf> ok.. so do you have any other advice?
[20:19] <sgsax> tell us what model it says it is so we can recommend the right module to try
[20:19] <Reepicheep> resno: since you use itunes you may look at a software that emulates the sharing that itunes does.. I not sure of the name of the software though
[20:19] <ThunderWolf> D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet
[20:19] <ThunderWolf> but i thoug ubuntu was for human beeing?
[20:20] <resno> Reepicheep: Thats what I was trying to get to. A software that allows easy sharing between clients.
[20:20] <ThunderWolf> i had Slackware, Debian and Arch working on this pc out of the box
[20:20] <ThunderWolf> and im having problems with ubuntu..
[20:20] <ThunderWolf> strange feeling
[20:21] <Reepicheep> resno: I have seen software that dose that .. let me see if I can find it.. part of the problem is I can't spell raundevue.. or what ever they call it ;)
[20:21] <sgsax> LTS kernel is a few versions older, but it should still recognize the nic, udev should be able to load the module
[20:22] <sgsax> if you run "lsmod" you should see something listed with "8139" in it
[20:22] <CyD> ThunderWolf: pretty odd that it wouldn't detect rtl8139, that is very common, i've certainly installed enough machines w/ it
[20:22] <Reepicheep> oh yeah.. it's Bonjour now
[20:23] <resno> thanks... ill look into tat
[20:23] <resno> that
[20:24] <Reepicheep> resno: go with sgsax recommend on that should work.. edna
[20:25] <Reepicheep> s/on/one/
[20:25] <sgsax> resno: it's a very simple python script, easy to setup and run
[20:26] <resno> sgsax: thanks...
[20:28] <Reepicheep> does anyone know why NTP stops and starts once for each bridge or vlan that I have on a system when it boots up or I reload the network?
[20:31] <sgsax> Reepicheep: the pre-reqs for ntp include network, so anything that touches that is going to restart ntp
[20:32] <jared555> anyone here work on the official documentation?
[20:33] <CyD> do I have to worry about Ubuntu 8.04 PHP version for PCI compliance? A third party is reporting I should be at 5.2.8.. are vulnerabilities backported? Is there somewhere I should be going to read this info?
[20:33] <Reepicheep> sgsax: that makes sense but I don't think that it needs to do it 14 times in a row every time I do something with the network..
[20:34] <Reepicheep> it doesn't really hurt anything .. it's just annoying

[23:31] <savid> Hi, I have postfix installed, and right now my mail logs in /var/log/mail* are only kept for one week.  How do I increase the amount of time that archived logs are kept?
[23:31] <savid> this is ubuntu server 8.10
[23:49] <diffra> savid: check in /etc/logrotate.d/
[23:49] <diffra> man logrotate talks about how to configure it as well
[23:52] <diffra> Does uvirtbot report on all ubuntu bugs, or just ones relevant to server installs?
