[01:09] <khelvan> Hi, this is a newbie question, but I want to run a script at boot (twonkymedia.sh to start twonkymedia) but don't know how - can someone please tell me what to do to run this script at boot (without requiring a console login)?
[01:12] <BigJB> khelvan: you need to add it to /etc/rc.local
[01:12] <BigJB> who should the script run as?
[01:14] <BigJB> khevlan: echo "/usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia.sh start" >> /etc/rc.local from http://wiki.hifidelio-user.de/doku.php?id=twonkymediaserver
[01:14] <BigJB> sorry, that should be: echo "/usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia.sh start" >> /etc/rc.local
[01:35] <khelvan> BigJB - Thanks! The script can run as the local user.
[01:50] <d3bug> anyone around that can help me with a login issue with xchat that i was unable to resolve in #xchat  ?
[01:52] <d3bug> jic someone is looking, the problem is that i need to log into an ircx server which requires that i send 3 very specific commands in place of the normal NICK command that is issued automatically...
[01:52] <d3bug> xchat sends the NICK command, and waits till after the motd to send the 3 commands which is too late by then
[01:53] <d3bug> soren, my question is:  is there any way to change that default behavior ?

[05:28] <OregonJim> Hello.
[05:28] <OregonJim> I installed Ubuntu server 9.04 and EBOX.
[05:29] <OregonJim> I want a home fileserver, and can access fileshares with my
[05:29] <OregonJim> Win 7 box, but when I try using an Xp machine, the username/password doesn't work.
[05:29] <OregonJim> Is there something in Xp I need to do to make it work properly?
[05:31] <OregonJim> No one wants to tackle this, huh?
[05:31] <OregonJim> Darn and I was hoping for some insight from you folks.
[05:33] <OregonJim> Is anyone listening here?
[05:34] <OregonJim> Hello. Am I managing to post now?
[05:38] <ScottK> Not very patient.
[05:40] <MTecknology> In and out in 4 min :P
[05:41] <MTecknology> 6*
[06:18] <scott197879> hi there. trying to setup a file server on my old pc. i'm pretty rusty with linux, but it's slowly coming back to me. I would also like the computer to be a media server... can I have both?
[06:18] <rdw200169> scott197879, i don't see why not!
[06:19] <rdw200169> scott197879, you ought to try what ever flavor of file server you want, and pair that up with something like the Twonky Media Server (best for xbox360)
[06:19] <rdw200169> scott197879, i think, though, you have to pay for twonky, i can't remember anymore
[06:20] <scott197879> i will look into it. thanks for the info.... xbox is what i am looking for specifically.
[06:24] <rdw200169> scott197879, i will have to look it up, but there's an NAS out there that uses Twonky
[06:24] <rdw200169> scott197879, honestly, for your purposes, this would be perfect, gimme a sec, and i'll find it
[06:25] <scott197879> thanks for the help! looks like i would have to install a gui for ubuntu server if i went with twonky?
[06:26] <dalfz> the logwatch package doesn't leave any logwatch.conf, just creating a /etc/logwatch emtpy directory tree. bug?
[06:26] <dalfz> this is  the LTS server
[06:29] <MTecknology> dalfz: it's not empty while it runs, it clears it when it's done - iirc
[06:29] <rdw200169> scott197879, oh, no!  you can do *anything* with most apps either through a web interface or the command line
[06:29] <rdw200169> scott197879, twonky has a web interface
[06:29] <dalfz> MTecknology, but where is logwatch.conf ?
[06:29] <MTecknology> there it's one afaik
[06:30] <scott197879> excellent... like i said, learning about ubuntu server as i go!
[06:30] <rdw200169> scott197879, so, it would work like administering a linksys router
[06:30] <MTecknology> dalfz: you just run it w/ w/e params you need
[06:30] <MTecknology> dalfz: you run it from a script or cron anyway, don't you?
[06:31] <dalfz> cron yes
[06:31] <rdw200169> scott197879, don't worry, just make sure you keep reading *everything* ;)
[06:31] <rdw200169> scott197879, one day, you will realize that a Linux Server is easily more powerful than anything Microsoft can come out with ;)
[06:32] <MTecknology> dalfz: wow... I just realized you can have it send mail from the app... I've been using it in a script :P
[06:32] <rdw200169> scott197879, and, that its easier... but that level of nirvana only arrives after a lot of heartache...
[06:32] <rdw200169> scott197879, and anger, and frustration, and bewilderment...
[06:32] <scott197879> already figured out! trying to transition everything over to linux now... too bad all of my experience has been with ms!
[06:32] <scott197879> lol
[06:36] <dalfz> MTecknology, yea good summary in the nightly mails :)
[06:37] <MTecknology> dalfz: that's what I use it for too, but I do a higher detail 1/wk
[06:40] <kees> MTecknology: your girlfriend's name is kees?  ;)
[06:40] <MTecknology> kees: k<tab>
[06:41] <MTecknology> I need to start using 2 letter tab completes
[06:42] <MTecknology> dalfz: fyi - I just use logwatch --detail=10 --range=all --mailto=admin@server.com
[06:42] <kees> MTecknology: I suspected.  ;)
[06:43] <scott197879> looks like twonky is for windows??
[06:43] <dalfz> MTecknology, thanks, besides range mine is identical
[06:45] <rdw200169> scott197879, it is probably also for windows, but i know for sure that they have a linux server
[06:45] <rdw200169> scott197879, you may be mis-understanding its use
[06:46] <rdw200169> scott197879, the purpose of Twonky Media Server is to provide UPnP services in Linux such that, for example, an Xbox360 would be able to interface with the aforementioned Linux Server for Music, etc...
[06:46] <MTecknology> dalfz: oh, if you're curious... My cron is * * * * 1
[06:46] <rdw200169> scott197879, natively, Linux Servers are uncapable of providing reliable UPnP services, since UPnP is primarily a Microsoft technology, likewise with Bonjour, etc...
[06:47] <MTecknology> dalfz: I just realized all is probably a bad idea though :P
[06:47] <rdw200169> scott197879, Twonky is an excellent implementation of UPnP roughly guaranteed to operate reliably with Microsoft Products, like the Xbox360
[06:49] <scott197879> i will have to try to find the package for linux then. so far i've only found the windows install from their webpage.
[06:49] <rdw200169> scott197879, further, UPnP, being primarily a MS technology, was originally meant to only be used with Windows products on the server side... i.e. Windows Media Center edition
[06:51] <rdw200169> scott197879, thus, to interface a linux-based server with microsoft products via UPnP, it was likely approached via the wireshark method... i.e. inspecting the packet traversals between UPnP devices and programming accordingly to mimic the behavior
[06:51] <rdw200169> scott197879, with that information, i'm sure you can understand that programming a linux equivalent UPnP service would be time-consuming and costly, hence, Twonky can make money selling a product that 'just works'
[06:52] <rdw200169> scott197879, there are free implementations of UPnP, but they are more difficult to use, require more, uh, configuration file mangling, and may not always work in the way intended
[06:53] <scott197879> lol... in my hands i'm sure they would not work the way they're intended to. i think i should keep it simple for now!
[06:59] <rdw200169> scott197879, ahh, surfing the twonky site, i can see that things have changed since i was there last...
[07:00] <scott197879> a little more windows friendly, eh?
[07:11] <rdw200169> actually, not that bad.  i managed to get it working in under 5 minutes from the .zip for linux on their site
[07:54] <scott197879> any idea how xbmc works on ubuntu server?
[07:56] <rdw200169> scott197879, i think xbmc requires a GUI, like gnome/kde which implies that its rather useless with ubuntu-server
[07:57] <rdw200169> scott197879, its not really a server-type application, more of a front-end for music management
[07:57] <scott197879> ahhh i see
[07:57] <rdw200169> scott197879, hence, its more appropriately used on a desktop directly attached to a TV/Monitor etc...
[07:57] <rdw200169> scott197879, servers, on the otherhand, are generally defined by their lack of a monitor/keyboard etc...
[07:58] <rdw200169> scott197879, or at least their need for one (hence the fact that most servers are accessed via SSH/Serial etc...
[09:26] <scott197879> thanks for thr help... research continues....
[13:45] <mobi-sheep> !backup
[13:49] <samferry> Duplicity ftw
[14:43] <hikenboot_> hello do the nvdia packages that are available in ubuntu work with xen ? I am unable to get the nvidia\ installer working with a custom kernel
[14:44] <hikenboot_> xen dom 0 that is
[15:15] <mobi-sheep> What would be the best way to make backup of home directory?  I don't care for other folders /etc/ /sys/ /dev/ etc -- I think.
[17:15] <Tom_Ass> is there some cpu frequenzy scaling in the server edition? My Amd Opteron 148, 2,2GHz, seems to be currently in "Performance mode", but can I put it to "Powersave" and "Ondemand" somehow?
[17:16] <Tom_Ass> when I had desktop on that computer I could change between those modes
[18:05] <giovani3> Tom_Ass: those words are meaningless, but yes, you can change the clock speed
[18:05] <giovani3> apt-cache search cpufreq
[18:06] <_ruben> cpufreq-selector (1) - tool to set CPU frequency
[18:06] <Tom_Ass> thanks
[18:07] <giovani3> there are many tools
[18:07] <giovani3> some are daemons, others change the value once
[18:07] <Tom_Ass> meaningless, as in there won't be an actual powersave?
[18:07] <giovani3> meaningless as in those words correlate to nothing the cpu uses
[18:07] <Tom_Ass> ok
[18:07] <giovani3> the cpu's clock speed can be adjusted
[18:07] <giovani3> there's no "powersave" mode for the cpu -- that's a word used by the utility you're used to
[18:10] <Tom_Ass> okey
[19:50] <Harryy> Hi, how can I remove the ctrl+alt+del hotkey from rebooting my server? Or at least ask me for a promot asking to reboot? It is annoying to have it reboot by default.
[19:52] <Tom_Ass> Harryy, https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/console-security.html
[19:52] <Harryy> thanks.
[20:43] <RishiRamraj> Hi All. I'm currently doing research on chroot jails for a new web service I'm developing. I've found a bunch of new options like FreeBSD jails, tools like makejail jailer and jailtool, and other virtualization solutions. Does anyone have any experience with these tools?
[20:54] <andol> RishiRamraj: You might want to take a peak at OpenVZ.
[20:55] <Nafallo> or vserver ?
[20:55] <nick125> RishiRamraj: Are your VMs going to be persistent or just temporary?
[21:03] <OregonJim> Hello. I need help configuring a Ubuntu 9.04 server as a home file server.
[21:04] <OregonJim> I used ebox to set it up after installation, including Samba, but I can only
[21:04] <OregonJim> map a drive from one computer. When I try to map a network drive from my Xp Pro
[21:05] <OregonJim> machine, I enter the username and password and nothing happens. Am I missing something?
[21:15] <OregonJim> bump
[21:17] <OregonJim> sad that no one can answer i\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[21:25] <RishiRamraj> nick125: Thanks, will look into OpenVZ. Not entirely sure what you mean by persistent or temporary. Can you elaborate?
[21:48] <nick125> RishiRamraj: Are you going to keep the VMs running a long time or are you going to destroy them quite often?
[21:48] <RishiRamraj> nick125: They'll be running a long time.
[21:48] <nick125> Ah.
[21:49] <nick125> I would check into Xen and KVM as well.
[21:49] <RishiRamraj> Gotcha. Thanks!
[21:50]  * nick125 cleans up his "office"
[21:50] <nick125> I can't believe I haven't been using this awesome 22" monitor for so long
[21:52] <nick125> Maybe I'll move my server over to Ubuntu this weekend..
[23:02] <jeeves> is anyone here today?
[23:03] <mr_daniel> many enterprises use Microsoft based products to build up a IT infrastructure, for example ActiveSync or other technology
[23:04] <mr_daniel> a typical infrastructure can look like this here: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1521/bildschirmfotog.png
[23:04] <mr_daniel> how can I build a equivalent infrastrucutre with linux and open source?
[23:04] <mr_daniel> which has the same and/or more features available?
[23:04] <giovani> mr_daniel: either you're trolling, or seriously confused about what you're asking
[23:05] <mr_daniel> I guess I am confused ;)
[23:06] <mr_daniel> I just want to know how a enterprise it infrastructure can look, which is build on open source and linux
[23:06] <mr_daniel> what is wrong with my quesion?
[23:07] <giovani> becaue "an enterprise IT infrastructure" is a meaningless concept
[23:07] <giovani> there's nothing inherently different about an enterprise than any other organization
[23:07] <giovani> but most enterprises use *nix anyhow
[23:08] <mr_daniel> I used the wrong words
[23:09] <mr_daniel> I mean of course small and mid size companys. Many of them (I guess so) use a Microsoft Exchange Server to provides some features like calendar, company wide address book, and of course email functionality
[23:10] <mr_daniel> also ActiveDirectory is an important part in a microsoft based network
[23:10] <giovani> ok, so you're asking about groupware
[23:10] <giovani> right, AD is a windows thng, so?
[23:10] <giovani> you haven't really asked a question that has an answer
[23:10] <mr_daniel> I am asking about software which helps companies with their IT, but yea you are right, I am asking about groupware
[23:11] <mr_daniel> right
[23:11] <mr_daniel> ok, sorry for that
[23:11] <giovani> once again, your question is so incredibly broad, it doesn't have an answer
[23:11] <mr_daniel> :)
[23:11] <giovani> "helps companies with their IT"
[23:26] <jeeves> what is the directory that stores e-mails on a postfix server?  my copy is hooped after a bad upgrade and I need to reinstall it
[23:31] <jeeves> how can I make a full statefull backup of one server to another accross SSH?
[23:32] <giovani> jeeves: mail is stored whereever you've configured it to be
[23:32] <giovani> sometimes /var/mail, sometimes in the user's home directory
[23:32] <giovani> all depends on how you've configured it
[23:32] <giovani> not sure what you mean by "stateful backup"
[23:33] <jeeves> giovani, I had someone else set up this box to do v-hosting, and after a system upgrade, everythign fell apart.  they used packages from the dev's sites, and not from APT, so when I did the upgrade, everythign fell apart
[23:33] <giovani> right
[23:33] <giovani> talk to them
[23:34] <jeeves> where to start.  LOL
[23:34] <giovani> you talk to them about what they did
[23:34] <giovani> and ask them how they configured your server
[23:35] <jeeves> from what I got (I didn't know a lot about Linux when we built the box).  it started as a Ubuntu 7.1 box, then I forced through an upgrade to 9.1.  The system is set up to do web hosting, and curently there are 9 domains on there, and a bunch of e-mail accounts.
[23:36] <jeeves> right now, the users use IMAP for their e-mail (it's still small, so we'd like to keep it on the server).
[23:37] <giovani> alright
[23:37] <giovani> that really doesn't matter
[23:37] <jeeves> and so far, since the upgrade, a LOT of stuff has broken due to not being installed from APT.  I think the e-mail setup had Postfix, dovcot, spam assaian, and clamAV installed
[23:37] <giovani> you need to talk to them about how it was configured so you can back up your data
[23:38] <jeeves> lol, they've left on a month long vacation!  Arrgghhh.  FML
[23:52] <jeeves> how do I compress the entire drive (and maintain the premissions) into a TAR file again?
[23:53] <Faust-C> jeeves, man -8 tar
