[02:32] <JDShewey> Hey, having trouble rebuilding a RAID0 array.
[02:32] <JDShewey> Whey I run mdadm --create I get /dev/sda1: device or resource busy and for /dev/sdb2 (and two other partitions) I get "this device appears to be part of an array". Any suggestions?
[02:32] <JDShewey> /dev/sda1 is unmounted and is part type linux raid autodetect
[02:51] <WHARRGARBL> What is irda0?
[02:57] <WHARRGARBL> How much space does Ubuntu server need to install?
[02:57] <JDShewey> Depends on what you are serving.
[02:59] <WHARRGARBL> How much data will the installer install?
[02:59] <WHARRGARBL> minus the content I put on
[02:59] <twb> WHARRGARBL: half a GiB is probably a recommended minimum for the root OS
[02:59] <twb> You could squeeze it down further, or blow it up larger.
[02:59] <twb> Usually I allocate two to four GiB to the root filesystem, simply because I'm working with large (1TiB) disks and an extra GiB isn't noticable.
[03:01] <WHARRGARBL> Does ubuntu server support Intel 22000BG wireless cards?
[03:01] <WHARRGARBL> I'm installing it on a laptop
[03:01] <twb> I do not know.
[03:02] <JDShewey> WHARRGARBL: Ask the google. I am pretty sure it does.
[03:02] <twb> WHARRGARBL: lspci output will help.
[03:03] <JDShewey> WHARRGARBL: if you are trying to do a WAP, you might be more interested in finding out if it can be put in promiscuous mode.
[03:03] <WHARRGARBL> Wireless access point?
[03:03] <WHARRGARBL> no
[03:03] <WHARRGARBL> I have a hardware WAP
[03:08] <qiyong> is it in restricted section or in main?
[03:08] <qiyong> samba-common_3.3.5-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
[03:11] <WHARRGARBL> Ubuntu server is cool, automatic updates :)
[03:12] <twb> qiyong: ask apt-cache policy
[03:12] <twb> qiyong: that is, run "apt-cache policy samba-common"
[03:21] <Guest14623> how can i post my problem without flooding the screen

[03:35] <Guest14623> Hello
[03:36] <Guest14623> i am pulling out my hair on this issue i am having . Please please can somone take a look and tell me what they think http://paste.ubuntu.com/207882/
[03:37] <WHARRGARBL> What is a virtual machine host
[03:37] <WHARRGARBL> on the options for installing ubuntu server
[03:37] <WHARRGARBL> I don't get it
[03:37] <WHARRGARBL> You mean it install vmware
[03:41] <twb> WHARRGARBL: it installs virtualization infrastructure which does the same job as VMware, but is not encumbered by proprietary licensing.
[03:41] <WHARRGARBL> ok
[03:41] <mobi-sheep> Servers.  What is the best way to run VLC?  I want to install a simple Xorg and VLC.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.
[03:42] <twb> mobi-sheep: that's not a server.
[03:47] <mobi-sheep> twb: I know.  I'm running a XBMC Live and it's jerky so I wanted to try installing Xorg and VLC.  I figured you guys would knew the answers.
[03:47] <twb> I don't know what an XBMC is.
[03:47] <mobi-sheep> Probably because you guys do install a simple GUI sometimes in a while or at least gave out commands?
[03:47] <twb> mobi-sheep: we generally disapprove of that.
[03:48] <mobi-sheep> twb: Xbox Media Center.  It's a nice HTPC (also can be a server).
[03:52] <twb> XBMC is software that runs on an Xbox?
[03:53] <mobi-sheep> twb: Well.  Originally, yes. But now it's able to run on Mac + Linux + Windows.
[03:53] <mobi-sheep> twb: But that's not the point.  Basically, I got XBMC.  No GUI.  Nothing else.  I know TTY too.  However, I was wondering what package I would need to run a simple Xorg so I can run VLC under X.
[03:54] <twb> OK, so you are running XBMC as a package on your ubuntu server?
[03:55] <mobi-sheep> I used XBMC Live iso.  It's messed up so naturally I'm going to try building it out of minimal.iso because XBMC Live does not configure graphic card or anything.  It just ran.  Kinda felt like I'm missing out on certain factors.
[03:56] <mobi-sheep> twb: Well it didn't mess up, but the video jerks every 5 seconds or so forget XBMC Live.  I found a guide that'll let me build it out of mini.iso which I will do.
[03:58] <mobi-sheep> twb: The real question would be -- What packages do I need to run applications under X simple as possible?
[04:03] <twb> Sorry, I was just trying to understand what you were doing.
[04:04] <twb> To get *just* X running, you want to install xserver-xorg-core, or the larger xserver-xorg package.
[04:04] <twb> You will probably also want to install packages that e.g. start X when you turn the computer on, and provide 3D acceleration, and maybe also packages that provide a window manager and a terminal emulator.
[04:04] <twb> For details about that you should really ask another channel, since graphical stuff is offtopic for this channel.
[04:06] <mobi-sheep> twb: Ahh.  Thank you.
[04:06] <mobi-sheep> twb: I'll figure out what I'm trying to accomplish. ;3
[04:08] <WHARRGARBL> How do I use WiFi in ubuntu serer?
[04:08] <WHARRGARBL> server?
[04:09] <twb> WHARRGARBL: the same way you use it anywhere else -- install the appropriate drivers.
[04:10] <WHARRGARBL> FFFFFFUUUUUUUU

[04:22] <twb> Guest14623: I guess your routing table is getting messed up because the pppoe's on each nic are fighting
[05:02] <Guest14623> twb -ya that sounds about right , would you know how to fix that or point me in the right direction
[05:02] <twb> Guest14623: too hard for me right now, sorry.
[05:03] <Guest14623> do you know what i should be changing
[05:03] <Guest14623> i have looked all over the internet for days
[05:04] <Guest14623> even if you could tell me what area i should be working on
[05:06] <twb> Guest14623: I don't know, sorry.
[05:16] <Guest14623> twb is there anyone else that you know of who could help me out
[05:25] <twb> NFI
[06:08] <scott_nwoktech> Holy cow...i'm a full ubuntu-server convert now...never going back to CENTOS
[06:12] <jmarsden> Guest14623: Look at the pppd options set by pppoeconf in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and see if any should be altered or removed for your dual pppoe situation?
[06:14] <Guest14623> jmarsden - thanks , i'll have a look
[06:15] <jmarsden> No problem.
[06:25] <scott_nwoktech> is Ante here?
[06:29] <jmarsden> scott_nwoktech: Use /whois NAME to see what channels NAME is currently in.
[06:31] <scott_nwoktech> thanks
[06:32] <scott_nwoktech> he must be out snowboarding; we had an extensive email conv over the weekend vis a vis a HA VM/Samba cluster. He seemed quite eager to point me in the right directions for some guidance, if he couldn't provide it himself
[06:36] <scott_nwoktech> i'm extremely in need of some guidance re kvm live-migration on a DRBD | pacemaker stack. If KVM isn't up to it then i assume i can install Xen on ubuntu just fine, and with the latest stable, unlike centos:)

[07:59] <PC_Nerd101> Hi - what runtime is best for apache and mysql startup scripts, at the moment I have one in rc4.d - but I suspected rc2 woudl be better because its in text mode as oposed to multi-user etc etc.....    ?
[08:36] <andenw> PC_Nerd101: default runlevel in ubuntu is 2, so rc2.d is the best place. But the standard way to install rc-scripts is with update-rc.d which installs in all rc*.d folders.
[09:25] <qiyong> is there any realtime traffic monitor tool?
[09:26] <qiyong> i know some, like bwm, traffshow, but i ask the most popular ones here.
[09:28] <negge> qiyong: qiyong I think bwm-ng and vnstat are fairly popular (vnstat isn't *exactly* realtime though)
[09:29] <negge> who needs the most popular one as long as it does the job well?
[09:29] <qiyong> bwm-ng replacing bwm? negge
[09:29] <negge> qiyong: actually I haven't used bwm, just bwm-ng, so I don't know the difference
[09:29] <negge> personal choice I guess
[09:32] <qiyong> negge: is vnstat running as a daemon?

[14:17] <dbaker> anyone using paver, fabric or another automated tool for server setup/deployment?
[14:24] <acalvo> Hi y'all!
[14:25] <acalvo> I'm migrating from an old server to a new one, and while trying to move all my LDAP tree I found that the userPassword attribute it's not following the same encryption
[14:25] <acalvo> is there any way to force it?
[14:31] <Sam-I-Am> what was it using?
[14:31] <Sam-I-Am> the default now, if unspecified, is ssha
[14:31] <Sam-I-Am> for reading passwords, though, it shouldnt matter since the hash type is before it in the attribute like.. {HASH}password
[14:40] <acalvo> I know
[14:40] <acalvo> but I've tried the same string in both servers
[14:40] <acalvo> and they gave me different outputs
[14:40] <acalvo> however, I've tried a simple one, and the result is the same
[14:40] <acalvo> a bit confusing...
[14:48] <Sam-I-Am> whats in your config file?
[14:58] <RoyK> can I use the ubuntu usb creator to create a fedora boot stick?
[15:00] <bitprophet> dbaker: I use Fabric
[15:00] <bitprophet> right now, primarily for OS setup/install, and some deployment of Django apps
[15:05] <bitprophet> fabric executes locally and is in Python, is the main difference
[15:05] <bitprophet> it also has some extra layers on top of common shell tasks that sometimes make stuff easier (i.e. a contains method that's just a wrapper around grep, etc)
[15:06] <dbaker> bitprophet: what do you mean by: 'run locally' ?
[15:06] <dbaker> bitprophet: on my machine and not on the server I'm trying to setup?
[15:06] <bitprophet> well a bash script would have to be copied to the remote machine and then executed there, whereas fabric runs locally and executes commands over ssh
[15:06] <bitprophet> correct
[15:07] <dbaker> bitprophet: are paver and fabric suppose to serve the same purpose?
[15:07] <bitprophet> I've not used Paver much, but in my understanding there is some overlap but paver is more of a build tool whereas Fabric focuses more on the deployment/scripting
[15:07] <bitprophet> but there's probably a lot that could be done in either one just fine
[15:07] <bitprophet> I'd try both and see which one you like more
[15:10] <dbaker> bitprophet: what do you mean by "a build tool" and "deployment/scripting" ?
[15:10] <dbaker> bitprophet: if I want to setup a server with nginx, django, postgresql... is this a deployment task?
[15:16] <heath|work> I am getting an error on --suite=intrepid  for vmbuilder. There is an intrepid JeOS, right?
[15:40] <stiVal> hello people! I'm having a little trouble automagically updating from gutsy to hardy. The update is being started by a script in run, that has no frontend.
[15:41] <stiVal> aptitude is called with this: /usr/bin/aptitude -o Aptitude::Log::=/tmp/aptitude-log -q -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confnew -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confmiss
[15:41] <stiVal> it seems this is not enough?
[15:42] <stiVal> it gets stuck with the libssl package --- which tries to ask which services to restart, but i want it to start them anyways
[15:42] <stiVal> sry, i forget - additional aptitude parameters: "-s -V -y 2>&1"
[15:43] <bitprophet> dbaker: sorry, didn't notice your reply :(
[15:43] <bitprophet> dbaker: in my totally non scientific terminology, "build" involves more setting stuff up locally, compiling, writing out config or xml files, etc; "deploy" or "script" means to install or modify software or applications
[15:44] <bitprophet> but I'm pretty sure paver can execute commands over ssh, and fabric can set up dependencies for easy local building, so they technically overlap. the differences would be in syntax and the extra tools provided to make certain types of tasks easier
[15:45] <bitprophet> (which is why I suggested to try both :))
[15:52] <detoni_jr> sou novo por aqui... um ótimo dia a todos!!!
[15:54] <_ruben> !br
[15:55] <dbaker> bitprophet: thank you. I'll will
[15:55] <bitprophet> :) Good luck.
[16:04] <Marticus> anybody familiar with michael jang's books?
[16:07] <stiVal> or asked a little shorter: What do I need to do, so debconf is NOT asking ANY questions and using the default values and actions?
[16:11] <bitprophet> stiVal: when I need to noninteractively run apt stuff and it hangs with debconf asking questions, I've found I often have to figure out the name of the debconf "setting" (not sure what the right term is) and stick that in debconf's database with debconf-set-selections
[16:12] <bitprophet> so for example when I autoinstall systems with mysql or postfix, I do e.g. "echo mysql-server mysql-server/root_password password <secret> | debconf-set-selection"
[16:12] <bitprophet> to set a default mysql root password
[16:12] <bitprophet> also pretend I had the quotes in the right place there
[16:13] <bitprophet> another example, echo "postfix postfix/relayhost string mail.my.domain" | debconf-set-selection
[16:13] <bitprophet>  /end blather
[16:13] <bitprophet> if you've ever dealt with preseed files, it's the same format since it's all just debconf
[16:14] <stiVal> yes i have ... it's just really anoying, that there is no way to be sure that NO package is asking questions. i don't care what the configurations look like since there is a middleware that takes care of my configurations - everything else can and should be default (no passwords or whatever)
[16:16] <stiVal> not every system is the same or has the same configuration - that's why the middleware is there - taking care of every package that could ask a question in all the different cases is nearly impossible for me
[16:16] <stiVal> but thanks - I'll look into that, if at least this time i can make it work your way ;)
[16:25] <bitprophet> yea, I hear you.
[16:25] <bitprophet> good luck

[17:48] <jeiworth> hi all, we're a small company (7 users) and my boss has asked me to install a groupware solution, so first i was looking at zimbra, which looks great but you never know what will happen to it if microsoft ever buys yahoo (well, actually we probably all know what will happen ;)) so i am not so sure i want to use it, next on the list are openxchange and opengroupware, does anyone here have experience with either 3 of these solutions? or other recom
[17:48] <jeiworth>  worth looking into for that matter? thanks!
[17:48] <ivoks> i've worked with zimbra
[17:48] <heath|work> ivoks, quota = maildir:User quota
[17:49] <ScottK> jeiworth: Most of Zimbra is free software.  You might also look at what proprietary bits they add on and if they aren't critical, don't worry about it.
[17:49] <heath|work> jeiworth, I have used eGroupware, open-exchange(like a lot), and Zimbra
[17:49] <ivoks> heath|work: which dovecot version is that?
[17:50] <heath|work> 1.1.11
[17:50] <heath|work> for jaunty
[17:50] <jeiworth> ivoks: ok, what is your impression? especially regarding outlook, entourage and kontact compatibility? :)
[17:50] <ivoks> it was used in ubuntu-only environment
[17:50] <jeiworth> ScottK: yes, i think a lot of it is under the gpl, right
[17:50] <ivoks> and everybody used web interface
[17:51] <ScottK> jeiworth: Or various other Free licenses, yes.
[17:51] <jeiworth> heath|work: open-xchange you like a lot or you have been using a lot? :)
[17:51] <jmedina> I offer zimbra as a solution to get rid of outlook and any other desktop client
[17:51] <heath|work> jeiworth, I like it a lot and will be using it a lot as I replace other servers
[17:51] <jeiworth> ivoks: i doubt i can convince the hardcore windows users here to only use the web interface
[17:51] <ivoks> heath|work: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/1.1
[17:52] <heath|work> ivoks, that's what I have run through to get what I have.
[17:52] <ivoks> jeiworth: afaik, outlook plugin isn't free in any way
[17:52] <jeiworth> heath|work: what about egroupware? the advantage would be that its in the ubuntu repos but probably an older version
[17:52] <ivoks> heath|work: you said you enabled plugin in imap protocol?
[17:53] <heath|work> ubuntu reps our way out dated when it comes to egroupware
[17:53] <jmedina> zimbra desktop works fine, and also uses lots of resources, so the better choice is use web interface, and of course train your users :)
[17:53] <jeiworth> ivoks: well, that is the problem of my boss, i dont think it would be a problem paying som bucks for a decent stable plugin
[17:53] <heath|work> Although I saw eBox was integrating eGroupware into it
[17:53] <ScottK> OTOH if you're using Outlook on your desktops, a non-free plugin shouldn't worry you too much
[17:54] <jeiworth> jmedina: hehe yeah, but some users simply don't want to be taught ;)
[17:55] <jmedina> jeiworth: well they have no choice, it is the cost of migrating...
[17:55] <heath|work> ivoks, in imap I have: mail_plugins = autocreate quota
[17:55] <heath|work> autocreate is working perfect
[17:55] <jeiworth> ok, so open-xchange or zimbra it is...hmm...zimbra needs to be installed on a dedicated (virtual) machine iirc
[17:55] <jmedina> jeiworth: most of my implementations requiere that, no deskto client
[17:56] <ivoks> for zimbra, i'd suggest install it and never touch it again
[17:56] <ivoks> :)
[17:56] <heath|work> jeiworth, we used zimbra but it would allow read receipts and everyone was pissed
[17:56] <jeiworth> jmedina: i prefer that too but you know, some people just _want_ to use their outlook no matter what. :-/
[17:56] <heath|work> they may have fixed that by now though
[17:57] <jeiworth> heath|work: can't that be deactivated globally?
[17:57] <jmedina> jeiworth: jejejee, then they will loose all great features of web interface
[17:57] <jmedina> :)
[17:57] <ivoks> take care, gtg
[17:57] <jeiworth> jmedina: they are mostly sales-ppl, what do they know about great features? ;o)
[17:58] <jmedina> jeiworth: that what training is about :)
 for zimbra, i'd suggest install it and never touch it again <-- :D
[17:59] <jmedina> you can really improve your user colaboration with zimbra
[17:59] <jmedina> when it works....
[17:59] <jmedina> jo jo jo
[18:00] <jeiworth> lol
[18:01] <jeiworth> ok, i think before i screw up my server i'll install zimbra and open-xchange in 2 vmachines and see how fast i get confused :)
[18:01] <jeiworth> thanks @ll!
[18:01] <jmedina> jeiworth: dont forget to read official documentation
[18:01] <jmedina> zimbra has a big user community with good articles in wikis and forums support
[18:02] <jmedina> most problemas I had  were already solved in a forum thread
[18:02] <jmedina> openxchange, jeo jo jo, their outlook plugin never work
[18:03] <a1fa> so Raid 10
[18:03] <a1fa> on 2650 Dell is not really Raid 10
[18:05] <a1fa> fick
 jeiworth: dont forget to read official documentation <-- i _always_ read the friendly manual ;)
[20:14] <a1fa> ....lawl
[20:35] <a1fa> i had to hack dell's update script
[20:35] <a1fa> it sucks nutts
[20:35] <jason__> hey all, i think my server's PSU just crapped out--the computer is completely dead (I even tried jumping the PSU to no avail).  The problem is the server's hard drive...
[20:35] <a1fa> ?
[20:35] <jason__> when i try to connect it to a different computer, that computer becomes as dead as my server
[20:35] <a1fa> ok
[20:36] <a1fa> ok
[20:36] <a1fa> so your hd is fried too
[20:36] <a1fa> how are you going to fix it
[20:36] <jason__> is that normal? a dead HD preventing a computer even attempting to boot up?
[20:37] <a1fa> scsi? sata? pata? ide?
[20:37] <jason__> sata
[20:37] <a1fa> ok.. so unplug the sata port
[20:37] <a1fa> and leave the power hooked to it
[20:37] <a1fa> turn on server
[20:38] <a1fa> if it powers on then hook SATA port, and unhook power
[20:38] <a1fa> try again
[20:39] <jason__> a1fa: server is dead
[20:39] <jason__> a1fa: won't power on with or without sata drive power / sata chords plugged in
[20:40] <jason__> brb, i'll try what you said with a different box
[20:43] <a1fa> yes please
[20:43] <a1fa> anybody have a pre-build iso for dell firmware upgrade?
[20:43] <jason__> a1fa: okay, so with the power alone it won't turn on
[20:44] <jason__> with sata connection only, it turns on
[20:44] <jason__> with both, nothing obviously
[20:44] <a1fa> ok
[20:44] <a1fa> your hard-drive is messed up
[20:44] <a1fa> its creating some kind of short
[20:44] <a1fa> i bet your server's power supply is just the safety switch
[20:44] <ribo> hey, I'm trying to sell my CTO on using ubuntu-server over RHEL; anyone know of a good list of big names using ubuntu-server?
[20:44] <a1fa> or blown fuse
[20:45] <a1fa> CTO?
[20:45] <a1fa> ;P
[20:45] <a1fa> kick him in the shin
[20:45] <a1fa> get him drunk
[20:45] <ribo> haha
[20:45] <Hecate> chief technical officer (iirc)
[20:45] <a1fa> drag his ass out in middle of nowhere
[20:45] <a1fa> and let him walk back
[20:45] <Hecate> in the meantime: install ubuntu
[20:46] <Hecate> ;)
[20:46] <a1fa> even Red Hat is using ubuntu
[20:46] <a1fa> to develop RHEL
[20:46] <a1fa> :P
[20:46] <ribo> haha
[20:46] <a1fa> i rest my case
[20:46] <jason__> a1fa: where's the safety switch on most PSUs?
[20:46] <a1fa> back
[20:46] <a1fa> or fuse is inside
[20:46] <a1fa> check your house fuse
[20:46] <jason__> hrm
[20:47] <a1fa> what server?
[20:47] <divan> Hi all - quick question has any one tried unattended upgrades (autoupdates) on ubuntu-server
[20:47] <jason__> a piece of shit p4 i had lying around
[20:47] <a1fa> there you go
[20:48] <jason__> the PSU was making a crazy high pitched sound all day yesterday
[20:48] <divan> i've tried it on 8.04.2 and 9.04. I often see updates available but they only seem to get applied if I manually do an apt-get update and then wait one night. Surely theres a setting to apply it quicker
[20:48] <a1fa> ok
[20:48] <a1fa> are you sure its not the hard-drive
[20:48] <a1fa> that was making noise?
[20:48] <jason__> yeah, i'm sure
[20:48] <a1fa> divan : apt-get dist-ugprade
[20:48] <jason__> i turned it off and back on again
[20:48] <a1fa> jason__ : its trashed
[20:48] <a1fa> it might have friend your hard-drive
[20:48] <jason__> the HD?
[20:48] <a1fa> fried*
[20:48] <a1fa> yeah
[20:48] <a1fa> both
[20:48] <a1fa> PSU nd HD
[20:48] <jason__> yeah, that's what i'm thinking...
[20:48] <a1fa> shit happens
[20:48] <jason__> damn
[20:49] <a1fa> hopefully I know you have backups
[20:49] <a1fa> :)
[20:49] <jason__> i have backups that aren't nearly as recent as i'd like
[20:49] <jason__> never got around to setting up a raid array
[20:49] <jason__> oh well
[20:49] <a1fa> :P
[20:49] <a1fa> suck-ah!
[20:49] <a1fa> hehe
[20:49] <a1fa> i am dealing with crap myself
[20:49] <jason__> at least i wasn't paying $10 / month to share a computer with 200 people ;P
[20:50] <a1fa> Dell 26500 raid10 is not really
[20:50] <a1fa> raid10
[20:50] <divan> alfa: I know I can apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y however thats not the point - the point is unattended - the ubuntu recommended way as per documentation doesn't work very well.
[20:50] <a1fa> divan
[20:50] <a1fa> ask for your money back and help fix the documentation
[20:50] <a1fa> why the hell do you do unattended upgrades
[20:50] <a1fa> anyway
[20:50] <a1fa> you are just asking for trouble
[20:52] <divan> alfa: Its not ask for trouble its a good security thing to do, it emails you the results anyway. In some scenarios it good practice. I understand I can contribute to the documentation - thats for pointing out the obvious
[20:52] <a1fa> :)
[20:52] <a1fa> thanks for making ubuntu better, divan!
[20:52] <divan> My question was because this being the ubuntu-server channel you would think someone tried the ubuntu server suggested documentaion practice and has some feedback regarding it.
[20:56] <a1fa> good point
[20:57] <rsr> hi
[20:58] <a1fa> ih
[20:59] <rsr> I have an ubuntu server running squid and apache. I installed ebox and sarg. Ebox is working fine but when I try to access the squid-reports from the lan I get a network timeout error. Although... if I use links to access it from the server I can do it with no problem. Maybe its an apache problem or something else?
[21:00] <a1fa> no
[21:00] <a1fa> it probably has access list set to 127.0.0.1
[21:00] <a1fa> or something along those lines
[21:00] <rsr> how would I resolve this issue? where can I disable that?
[21:01] <rsr> in apache´s site configuration?
[21:02] <rsr> I do think youre at least partially right since after every apache reload I get this message: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[21:25] <heath|work> rsr, edit your host file
[21:29] <rsr> heath|work: I saw in /etc/hosts that there was an entry 127.0.1.1 myubuntu... so I changed it to 192.168.0.252
[21:30] <heath|work> 192.168.0.252 myubuntu.domain.tld myubuntu
[21:30] <rsr> heath|work: I just want to access through the ip... so I dont need a domain name
[21:31] <heath|work> rsr, apache needs the fqdn no matter how you are accessing it
[21:31] <heath|work> hostname -f    should be the fqdn of the server.
[21:31] <rsr> hostname -f returned myubuntu
[21:32] <rsr> heath|work: I guess that isnt my problem....Im getting a network timeout
[21:33] <heath|work> Lots of network issues can be caused by host name problems
[21:33] <rsr> heath|work: but the other site on the same server works fine
[21:33] <rsr> heath|work: it is https though
[21:35] <heath|work> You will have problems with your cert for https if you redo your host name, but I do think you should give the machine a fqdn.
[21:35] <heath|work> For all local stuff I use name.something.local
[21:43] <a1fa> can anyone send me a link to vmwave patch
[21:43] <a1fa> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=94477&d=1227872015
[21:43] <a1fa> can anyone pastebin this patch please
[21:43] <a1fa> i dont have login on the forums
[21:49] <a1fa> hello
[21:49] <a1fa> can anyone get that patch please and post it on pastebin
[21:50] <ScottK> So instead of you taking a moment to create a login to the forums you expect someone else to go find this patch and hand it to you?
[21:56] <akoimeexx> Anyone know of a good channel to get ircd-hybrid support on ubuntu server?
[21:57] <a1fa> lol
[21:58] <akoimeexx> (I get the irony of asking for irc server support on freenode. I get that. Need it for an internal network though)
[22:05] <akoimeexx> Anyone?
[22:05] <andol> akoimeexx: Have you tried the channel listed at http://www.ircd-hybrid.org/support.html?
[22:06] <akoimeexx> Yeah, no activity
[22:06] <andol> ok
[22:07] <akoimeexx> I'm just having issues with getting oper to work.
[22:07] <akoimeexx> Thought I had it configured correctly in the ircd.conf file, but apparently I'm mistaken
[23:44] <CppIsWeird> i just got a sun server with an LSI Logic raid controller. how do i figure out if it supports raid 5?
